T'AIN'T NICE (TO TALK LIKE THAT)
Written by Bill CarlisLe and Charlie & Ira Louvin.
As recorded by Bill Carlisle, 1953.

1. Now I'm your coffee and I'm your tea.
You better save all your sugar for me.
You better watch who you give your lovin' to,
'Cause I'm plumb popeyed over you.

CHORUS-1: [Woman:] You know it ain't nice to talk like that.
[Man:] Yeah, I know it ain't nice to talk like that,
But I'm hog wild and that's my style,
And I get a kick out o' talkin' like that.

2. Ever' time I see you walkin' down the street,
My heart does a hootchie-kootchie and skips a beat.
You're my cute little sugar plum,
And I'm a-gonna squeeze till the cows come home. CHORUS-1

CHORUS-2: [Both:] Now, we know it ain't nice to talk like that,
But we're gonna keep on a-talkin' like that,
'Cause we're hog wild and that's our style,
And we get a kick out o' talkin' like that.

3. If you'll be my little lovin' hugger,
I'll be your little sugar burger.
I love you, my little koochie-koo.
I'm gonna squeeze the fool out o' you. CHORUS-1

4. I'm a-fishin' for you, baby, with the right kind o' bait,
And I'm a-gonna catch you if my line don't break.
It's me for you and you for me.
I'm a-gonna squeeze you till you holler "Whoopee!" CHORUS-1, CHORUS-2
