Jacob is a car mechanic   Living life at home is funny   He knows a girl but he never got married   Some say, "He's a cause for concern"      Shaky Jake is always dancing   Kids all call him up when they want some fun   Ten stone but he's getting lighter   Pretty soon he's gonna disappear      Can you tell me about my life, just the basic detail?   We can talk all night, one-way conversation      My friend Lucy doesn't like boys   When she wears a cut-down t-shirt   It's like she's saying no, don't ask me   It's a funny thing but no-one ever does      Can you tell me about my life, just the basic detail?   We can talk all night, one-way conversations      It's getting easier   Now I know where I'm coming from   It's a heavy feeling   You gotta know what you're in for, before you go      So can you tell me about my life, just the basic detail?   We can talk all night, one-way conversation   Then you tell me about your life, I bet you're someone special   We can talk all night, I think we really need to
