Don't Ask Me

Ian Dury And The Blockheads

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?



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



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



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



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



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



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



Don't ask...
