Don't Ask Me Lyrics - Nik Kershaw

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 

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 

The origin of species 

The date of Waterloo 

Oppenheimer's shoe size 

And the latitude of Timbuktu 

The square root of thrity-eight 

Why they call he-goats billy 

The weight of Colonel Sanders 

And the whereabouts of Chile 

So 

(Chorus) 

Before you go on may I make a suggestion 

To get to the truth, 

You must first know the question 

(Chorus to end)
