Oh please don't ask me
Not again â€" it wouldn't work
It would be a paragraph or somethin
It would only be action
I know things
I must get out
Oh but I'm weak doin fine
Getting better all the time
Waste away, look at that
I'll bet you thought
I'll bet you thought
Okay, you want some real action
Well you can't have it
“Oh yes, you say, “I know but...
You don't know what I say
You're too busy reeling around
I couldn't even end at this
Cause everything is such a fuss
