Ian Dury & The Blockheads Don't Ask Me lyrics

Here I stand with a dough nut 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
