If This Isn’t Nice I Don’t Know What Is

If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
Music, please

(Nice)

Now
Every
Lecture I've ever given
Has included
My tribute to my Uncle Alex, my mother's kid brother
Who was a graduate of Harvard
And a wise man and just an insurance salesman in Indianapolis
He was childless
But what Uncle Alex found objectionable
About so many human beings
Is that they so seldom noticed it when they were happy
And so we would be sitting under an apple tree for instance
Some July afternoon, drinking lеmonade and you know
Talking about this and that and then practically buzzing like honеybees
And Uncle Alex would stop
Everything and say
Wait a minute stop

[Chorus]
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is

And so he would do that again and again
And it was very good advice
And I've taken it up
And I hope that you will take up this habit too
Of noticing when things are really awfully nice
And say if this isn't nice, I don't know what is
And say if this isn't nice, I don't know what is

[Chorus]
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is

[Chorus]
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is
If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
I don't know what is, I don't know what is

(Listen this is for everybody here)
(Listen this is for everybody here)

If this isn't nice, I don't know what is
