Oh please don't ask me

Not again — 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
