Don’t Ask Me lyrics
by Ian Dury and the Blockheads
[Verse 1]
Here I stand with a doughnut for a brain
On my life, I must see you again
I should think that's made it very plain
Is it his? Is it his or is it ain't?
[Chorus]
Don't ask me to leave it out
Or turn it up or pack it in
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask
[Verse 2]
Don't ask me, I'm an ignorant, I'm afraid
On my life, I believe we're tailor made
I should worry if the weather spoils the trade
I'm a crumb and I'm in your lemonade
[Chorus]
Don't ask me
To knock it off
Or cut it short
Or jack it in
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask
[Bridge]
Let me offer you my life and all my love
Let me offer you a bargain
What a lovely range
Don't forget the change
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
[Verse 3]
Don't ask me to make a sacrifice
On my life, I'm cheap at half the price
Won't you try a portion or a slice?
Slightly warm, but very, very nice
[Chorus]
Don't ask me
To leave it out
Or turn it up
Or pack it in
Don't ask me
Don't ask me
Don't ask
[Outro]
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
Don't ask
