Lyrics
Uh-huh
Many times ago, as it takes to make the world
That's what she said
So it's written there, dogs and cats everywhere
Been what she said
Say you don't know, say you don't go no more
Say you never heard of such a thing, say you don't know
Everywhere I look it's always one inch that it took
Never asking
Say you don't know, say you don't go no more
Say you never heard of such a thing in your life
No wonder you don't know
Ignorance is bliss
So close your eyes and give me a kiss
And give me a kiss
Question still remains, why am I locked in such pains
While I'm serving
So it's written there, dogs and cats everywhere
There where he said
Oh babe, oh babe
Tell me you don't know, say you don't know mama
What you don't know that you don't know, say you don't know, no, no, no
Ignorance is bliss
So close your eyes and give me a kiss
Yeah
