Tell me I'm beautiful, Share with me that you're blue, But pretend that you care. Dismiss lies with a wink, And blow off what is fair, But whatever you do, Please Dear, don't make me think! Let those sleeping dogs lie, And your sleeping cats too, Just cover all insights, With black octopus' ink, Really, who needs the fights? But whatever you do , Please Dear, don't make me think! Reality's too hard, Soften it with white lies. We'll soon croak anyway, Who cares who's in the pink Or whose turn it's at play. Doesn't matter who sighs, Please Dear, don't make me think!
