Minding my own business on a hot afternoon
Forget about it
Got a long long list of things that I've got to do
Forget about it
Day's been dying, I'm still trying to get myself from here
Not worried about it
Then with an officious knock you two appear
Be nice, it's time to be nice
Be nice, let's try to be nice
Screen door cuts your faces into tiny squares
I see you through them
Doorway faces south to let in the hot air
I see right through you
Ants are busy marching up the frame of the door
Where are they headed
Will it ever end oh no here comes some more
Be nice, it's time to be nice
Be nice, let's try to be nice
Be nice, just take a deep breath and dive
♪
In the end audition takes its toll on me
I want to sit down
You're only just warming to your litany
I'm gonna sit down
Two inches on hinges and the door will close
I'm gonna push it
But instead I wait till you decide to go
Be nice, it's time to be nice
Be nice, let's try to be nice
Be nice, if only for the exercise
