If It Should Please You — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

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

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

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

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

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

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
