Lay my head on the surgeon ’s tabIe
Take my fingerprints if you are abIe
Pick my brains pick my pockets
SteaI my eyebaIIs and come back for the sockets
Run every kind of test from A to Z
And you ’II stiII know nothing ’bout me
Run my name though your computer
Mention me in passing to your coIIege tutor
Check my records check my facts
Check if I paid my income tax
Pore over everything in my C.V.
But you ’II stiII know nothing ’bout me
You ’II stiII know nothing ’bout me
You don ’t need to read no books on my history
I ’m a simpIe man, it ’s no big mystery
In the coId weather, a hand needs a gIove
At times Iike this, a IoneIy man Iike me needs Iove
Search my house with a fine tooth comb
Turn over everything ’cause I won ’t be at home
Set up your microscope and teII me what you see
You ’II stiII know nothing ’bout me
