Lay my head on
the surgeon's table
Take my fingerprints
if you are able
Pick my brains,
pick my pockets
Steal my eyeballs
and come back
for the sockets
Run every kind of
test from A to Z
And you'll still know
nothin' 'bout me
Run my name
through your computer
Mention me
in passing to
your college tutor
Check my records,
check my facts
Check if I paid
my income tax
Pore over everything
in my C.V.
But you'll still know
nothin' 'bout me
Still know
nothin' 'bout me
You don't need
to read no books
on my history
I'm a simple man,
it's no big mystery
In the cold weather
a hand needs
a glove
At times like this
a lonely man
like me
needs love...
Search my house with
a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything
'cos I won't be home
Set up your
microscope and tell
me what you see
But you'll still know
nothin' 'bout me
You still know
nothin' 'bout me
You'll still know
zip 'bout me
You still know
nothin' 'bout me
'Bout me
'Bout me
