Lyrics

Mr. Knowitall

[Verse 1]

They call me Mr. Knowitall

I will not compromise

I will not be told what to do

I shall not step aside, huh!

[Verse 2]

They call me Mr. Knowitall

I have no time to waste

My mouth it spews pure intellect

And I've such elegant taste

[Instrumental Break]

Yeah, yeah!

[Bridge]

They call me Mr. Knowitall

I sup the aged wine

Oh, I could tell such wondrous tales

If I should find the time

Well, I must be Mr. Knowitall

For ideas they come in bounds

I am Mr. Knowitall

Now spread the word around

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

They call me Mr. Knowitall

I am so eloquent

Perfection is my middle name

And whatever rhymes with eloquent

[Instrumental Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
