There's a man, desperate Dan, looking for a wife
If he can find the right one, he'll explode
Says he likes women like cycling in the nude
No wonder that as yet no one has showed

You can battle your canoe
Up and down the busy creek
The question though is this
With no water so to speak

Where did you go to, who did you see?
How did you know I'd be there?
And did you remember not to forget?
Tell me 'cause I don't care

If you knew the pain you sue, you might know the song
But if you knew a secret, would you tell?
Seems to me for a fee, we would sell our souls
If only for the coffers, it would swell

You can bless your cotton socks
All the woolly ones at least
The only problem being
What if you can't find a priest?

So where did you go to, who did you see?
How did you know I'd be there?
Oh, and did you remember not to forget?
Tell me 'cause I don't
Tell me 'cause I don't care
Don't care
