Can't Say That Lyrics - Procol Harum

I am your friendly manager 

So please don't put me down 

Just treat me with respect 

Or I'll run you out of town 

You are my willing servant 

Don't get beyond your place 

Or I will lay my rod on you 

And crack you round the face 

I am your gentle caretaker 

I nurture you with balm 

But if you swear before my eyes 

I'll b reak both of your arms 

You are my faithful follower 

You've got to prove your worth 

Or I will take back all my love 

Put you in the earth

Don't lay that one down on me 

Or you won't make it 

For Pete's sake, I won't take it 

You can't say that in front of me 

And make my name a mockery 

I am your kindly patriarch 

You never had a Ma 

These miracles are writ in stone 

You need not question far 

You are my darling devotee 

I treat you like my own 

Before you screw with my name 

I'll make you weep and moan

Don't lay that one down on me 

Unless you mean it 

You respect my dignity 

Or you won't make it 

For God's sake, I won't take it 

You can't say that in front of me 

And make my name a mockery 

I am your great encourager 

Always cheer you on 

If you blaspheme about my schemes 

I'll make sure that you're gone 

Cause you are way below me 

Don't you ever forget 

I made you what you are 

Since the day we met 

Don't lay that one down on me 

Unless you mean it 

You respect my dignity 

Or you won't make it 

For Pete's sake, I won't take it 

Can't say that in front of me 

Make my name a mockery
