I said "Please Mr. Bankman, I need 10 grand to buy me 
back my car. 
I can't give you no cookie, but if you give me the cash 
I'll buy you the whole jar." 

He scratched his head, clicked his pen and looked me up 
and down 
as he called for Security he leaned towards me slowly 
with a frown 

"You gotta know to understand 
Baby take me by my hand 
I'll lead you to the Promised Land 
You gotta know to understand." 

I was driving late at night with my best girlfriend, 
her name was Tracy Trump 
We took a left up at Norfolk and stopped the car after 
I hit a bump 
I said "Don't cry baby, we were going so fast it 
probably didn't feel one thing." 
As we were laying it to rest, the dog jumped up and 
started to sing 

Baby take me by my hand, 
I'll lead you to the Promised Land, 
You gotta know to understand." 

I went out for a walk, I was wondering why my life was 
standing still 
I went up to see the wise man, his cave was on the top 
of wise man hill 
When finally I got there I saw the old man, he was 
standing on his head 
I said "tell me bout the birds and the bees and the 
flowers and the trees and 
The moon up above and the thing called love"...he said 

"You gotta know to understand 
Baby take me by my hand 
I'll lead you to the Promised Land 
You gotta know to understand." 
"You gotta know to understand 
Baby take me by my hand 
I'll lead you to the Promised Land 
You gotta know to understand."
