NICE TO HAVE SEEN YOU
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

NICE TO HAVE SEEN YOU How often you have heard Those words numbering five, Just social amcnity
 As sure as you're alive. Nice to have seen you
 Is very polite phrase, Not always to be believed But usually it pays. Nice to have seen you
 Says friend of earlier years, When between you and mo You're both bored to tears. Nice to have seen you,
 Says the sleek maitre d'hotel, Who perhaps thinks to himself That guy doesn't tip well. At college reunions
 You greet a former classmate, Nice to have seen you
 Says old Briggs of ninety-eight. How often you have heard That phrase so polite, Nice to have seen you,
 But 1t fits in just right.
