You'd Better Be Nice lyrics

Ever since I can remember I have heard a certain phrase In every walk of life someone has told me to behave It started when with my mother back when I was comin' four Once when neighbors kept me mother told me at the door Now Tommy you'd better be a good boy Honey I know that gleam in your eye Sonny you'd better be a good boy Now Tommy you'd better be nice Then I went to get my schoolin' just like everybody does And I guess I wadn't perfect like that Tracy Alstead was The teacher seemed to watch me out the corner of her eye And just for teasin' Susie Miss Crow took me aside Now Tommy you'd better be a good boy Or I promise you'll pay the price Young fellow you'd better be a good boy Now Tommy let's be nice [ guitar ] Well the years have come and gone and now I'm goin' with a girl I like to smell her perfume and touch her fluffy curl And I'm still not overtrusted so I hear that same old thing Just when I get acquainted then here it comes again Tommy you'd better be a good boy Now honey I see that gleam in your eye Tommy you'd better be a good boy Now Tommy you'd better be nice You'd better be nice you'd better be nice You'd better be umm nice
