Don't Ask Me

[Verse 1]

Mr. K comes out to play

Inquisitive as ever

He'd like to know a bunch of things

He thinks you're pretty clever

The height of Cyd Charisse

The probability of chance

The capital of Turkey

And the president of France, so

[Chorus]

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention

And I just don't know what to do, what to do

Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention

And you'll never know what is true, what is true

[Verse 2]

The origin of species

The date of Waterloo

Oppenheimer's shoe size

And the latitude of Timbuktu

The square root of thirty-eight

Why they call he-goats billy

The weight of Colonel Sanders

And the whereabouts of Chile, so

[Chorus]

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention

And I just don't know what to do, what to do

Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention

And you'll never know what is true, what is true

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention

And I just don't know what to do, what to do

Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention

And you'll never know what is true, what is true

[Instrumental bridge]

[Bridge]

Before you go on may I make a suggestion

To get to the truth

You must first know the question

[Chorus]

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention

And I just don't know what to do, what to do

Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention

And you'll never know what is true, what is true

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention

And I just don't know what to do, what to do

Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention

And you'll never know what is true, what is true

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention

And I just don't know what to do, what to do

Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention

And you'll never know what is true, what is true
