Kershaw, Nik - Don't Ask Me Lyrics

Ol" vinny played with everyone under the sun, Lol, from nik on this album, million for zappa, tori Amos, also played on megadeth's album the system has failed, many more, just crazy

Masterpiece album by a pop genius.

Vinnie Colaiuta Genial !!!

Lyrics:

Mr. K comes out to play
Inquisitive as ever
He'd like to know a bunch of things
He thinks you're pretty clever
The height of Cyd Charisse
The probability of chance
The capital of Turkey
And the president of France
So

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention
And I just don't know what to do, what to do
Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention
And you'll never know what is true, what is true

The origin of species
The date of Waterloo
Oppenheimer's shoe size
And the latitude of Timbuktu
The square root of thirty-eight
Why they call he-goats billy
The weight of Colonel Sanders
And the whereabouts of Chile
So

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention
And I just don't know what to do, what to do
Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention
And you'll never know what is true, what is true
X2

~musical interlude~

Before you go on may I make a suggestion
To get to the truth,
You must first know the question

Don't ask me, got no genius to mention
And I just don't know what to do, what to do
Don't ask me, I'm the father of invention
And you'll never know what is true, what is true
X3

There’s a video here on You Tube from drummer Joe Crabtree breaking down the crazy full at the end of this

What a drum fill at the end of this; only Vinnie could pull this off and his rock solid groove is incredible!

Very nice song and colaiuta's drums, but i've very impressed that Nik Kershaw wrote Chile at lyrics, and i'm From these country, lol.

Vinnie at his best

Classic Vinnie... and a great hook from Nik of course!

epic drum fill

im sure all his stuff is on itunes now, so my brother says who runs niks forum so he is likely to know. the album 'the works' may be on ebay. if you typed 'nik kershaw' in to facebook there used to be one at the end that was actually 'mick wall' he will tell you anything you need to know. though you could speak to nik at one of his gigs, check his own website for the dates.
