If It Should Please You
Gordon Lightfoot
Intro: verse 1: If it should please you I have come to play A glad or a sad tune I wrote along the way And a few good songs about the old highway I been around so long lord I guess I’m here to stay verse 2: So I’m itching to please you with a topical song And a few golden oldies and a little hoedown And I think I know how to make you feel We’re one and the same now like a big flywheel I have seen the best of all those things you can’t explain Wanderlust I did not trust but I never did complain verse 3: N.C. So if it should please you put away those blues Just settle on back now I’ll do my licks for you It’s my own way and that’s the way it goes You’re a real good reason for a real good show Instrumental: I have seen the best of all those things you don’t forget Wanderlust I did not trust and I ain’t been done in yet verse 4: N.C. So if you got the dead end of the dealing shoe This is your last chance man we belong to you It’s my own way and that’s the way I feel We’re one and the same now like a big flywheel Instrumental: VERSE 5: N.C. So if it should please you I have come to play A glad or a sad tune I wrote along the way And a few good songs about the old highway I been around so long lord I guess I’m here to stay We’re one and the same now let’s take it away We’re gonna take it real easy let’s take it away We’re gonna take it real easy let’s take it away
