Be Kind to Me ~ Michael Hurley
from "Armchair Boogie"
[Verse 1]
GTold you once and I told you twice:
Why be mean when you can be nice?
Come Con, be kind to Gme!
Can’t you Dsee I’m in CmiserGy?
[Verse 2]
GI hardly feel like a mustard seed
‘cause your love is what I need
Come Con, be kind to Gme!
Can’t you Dsee I’m in CmiserGy?
[Verse 3]
GI’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen,
the best old girl you ever seen
Come Con, be kind to Gme!
Can’t you Dsee I’m in CmiserGy?
[Verse 4]
GI told you, child, when you were sixteen,
I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
Come Con, be kind to Gme!
Can’t you Dsee I’m in CmiserGy?
[Verse 5]
GA bull frog sitting on a lily pond
And I was holding her in my arms
Come Con, be kind to Gme!
Can’t you Dsee I’m in CmiserGy?
[Verse 6]
GI call you on the telephone
Tell me why you’re never home
Come Con, be kind to Gme!
Can’t you Dsee I’m in CmiserGy?
