Do we have this work already listed?
No I saw a similar title "Please Tease" under this man's name. Maybe they meant the song I'm talking about, or maybe "Please Tease" is another song he did.
Ok, so the first thing we need to do is to create a work called "Please Mr Please". To do so, we need to know the credits for the music and the lyrics. If possible we check this in online databases, like BMI:
Let me know if you can find this work in the BMI database.
Since you are at it, there is also a reggae version by Barbara Jones

When it's not in BMI, it's often ASCAP. Have a try.
