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
