Blues Lyrics of the Week: Must Be Nice

Here’s one we mentioned earlier this week as getting both a full-band and acoustic treatment – both of which are well worth a listen – on Rob Blaine‘s Big Otis Blues. Chances are most of us know a trust fund baby or Mr. Know-It-All or two who make it easy enough to relate to these lyrics.

“Didn’t pay no dues,
must be nice to make it that way.
Payin’ for thousands before you’re grown,
your daddy made it that way.
Must be nice, yea,
must be nice to live that way.
Must be nice,
must be nice to live that way.

Hey, mister know-it-all,
must be nice to know everything.
Been there, done that, heard it before,
all I hear you say.
Man, you have an answer to everything,
and it must be nice to have it that way.
Must be nice, yea,
it must be nice to have it that way.”
– “Must Be Nice”, Robert Blaine
