Lay my head on the surgeon's table   Take my 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 though 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
