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 nothing 'bout me
|
|
Run my name though 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 nothing 'bout me
|
You'll still know nothing '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 'cause I won't be at home
|
Set up your microscope and tell me what you see
|
You'll still know nothing 'bout me
|
