Lay my head on the surgeon's table  Take me 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 through 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
