If you tried for love you'd try to be more fussy
Not settle for a hussy or a hound
But you're all alone, out in the seamy city
You can buy your pretty by the pound
So to ease your lust, you're wasting all this money
And when the deed is done your honey's gone
But you could just stop and try for something new, man:
Lasting love that you can count upon!
Don't you wish you had a Nice Girl, one who'd love to please you
Nice Girl, one who'd never tease you
Nice Girl, always there to ease your pain
They all say you need a Nice Girl, who'll make a decent mother
Nice Girl, forget about the others
When you have your druthers you'll remain in the arms of your
nicely dressed, cultured, and lovely Nice Girl
Have you had your fill of independent will yet?
Stop this game of Roulette, find a wife!
Just remember all the good things Mama told you
Why she tried to mold you all your life
When your Nice Girl smiles and listens when you're talking
Won't you feel like you're King of the World
Always pleasant, attentive, to obey is her incentive
You will not lament of your Nice Girl!
Don't you wish you had a Nice Girl, one who'd love to please you
Nice Girl, one who'd never tease you
Nice Girl, always there to ease your pain
They all say you need a Nice Girl, who'll make a decent mother
Nice Girl, forget about the others
When you have your druthers you'll remain in the arms of your
nicely dressed, cultured, and lovely Nice Girl
When's the last time you saw a pretty ribbon
tied up in a pretty little bow?
When's the last time you could hear an angel singing
From an open kitchen window?
It's the Nice Girl who will make the best of lovers
At the proper place and proper time
And through thick and thin she will be yours forever
and she'll never ever cost a dime!
Don't you wish you had a Nice Girl, one who'd love to please you
Nice Girl, one who'd never tease you
Nice Girl, always there to ease your pain
They all say you need a Nice Girl, a stay-at-home mother
Nice Girl, forget about the others
When you have your druthers you'll remain in the arms of your
nicely dressed, cultured and well mannered, neat, clean,
pious and plump and lovely Nice Girl!
Nice Girl!
