Here I stand with a doughnut for a brain.

Don't [Cm] ask me to [Fm] leave it out,
or turn it up, [Cm] or pack it in.
Don't ask me, [D#] don't ask me,
[C] don't ask, don't ask me.
I'm an idiot, I'm [C#] afraid.
On [C] my life I believe we're a tail [C#] away.
I should [C] worry if the weather's forced the trade.
I'm a crumb [F] and I'm in your [C] lemonade.
[D#] Don't ask me [Cm] [Fm] to knock it off,
or cut it short, or jack it in.
