Scorpions - Hate to Be Nice lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - 1972

Ha, ha, ha, I don't believe it

Da, da, ah, ooh, don't touch me

Hey, Ray!

Hey, Sugar!

Tell them who we are .....

Well, we're big rock singers

We've got golden fingers

And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)

We sing about beauty and we sing about truth

For ten-thousand dollars a show (right)

We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills

But the thrill we've never known

Is the thrill that'll get ya when you get your picture

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover

(Stone)Wanna buy five copies for my mother (yeah)

(Stone)Wanna see my smilin' face

On the cover of the Rolling Stone (that's a very, very, good idea)

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy

Who embroideries on my jeans

I got my poor old grey haired daddy

Drivin' my limosine

Now, it's all designed to blow our minds

But our minds won't really be blown

Like the blow that'll get ya when you get your picture

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see our pictures on the cover

(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah)

(Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Hey, I know how, rock and roll!!)

[Freaky Guitar Break]

(Ah, that's beautiful)

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies

Who do anything we say

We got a genuine Indian Guru

Who's teaching us a better way

We got all the friends that money can buy

So we never have to be alone

And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover

(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one!)

(Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Man, I don't know why we ain't on the cover, Baby)

(We're beautiful people)

(I ain't kiddin', why, we would make a beautiful cover

(Fresh shot, right up front, man)

(I can see it now, we'll be up on the front)

(Smilin', man ...... ahh, beautiful!)
