Go ahead ask me what makes me tick
Well to answer your question really quick
I'm a simple man
No devious plans
Though sometimes I can be real thick
What is a limerick... this is a limerick!
Don't understand, is this some kind of a trick?
I'll repeat it slower
Perhaps when you're sober
Sometimes you can be as thick as a brick!
What is a limerick... this is a limerick!
Don't understand, is this some kind of a trick?
I'll repeat it slower
Perhaps when you're sober
Sometimes you can be as thick as a brick!
Go ahead, ask me what makes me tick
Well, to answer your question really quick
I'm a simple man
No devious plans
Though sometimes I can be as thick as a brick
Go ahead, ask me what makes me tick
Well, to answer your question really quick
I'm a simple man
No devious plans
Though sometimes I can be as thick as a brick
Go ahead, ask me what makes me tick
Well, to answer your question really quick
I'm a simple man
No devious plans
Though sometimes I can be as thick as a damn brick
One and two makes three, so four and five makes six
This guy's discovered all the mathematical tricks
The professors are all wrong
They really don't belong
Always knew theses guys were thick as a brick

Thick as a brick.
Misunderstood.
Alas a teenage daughter
Got in the family way,
Such they are the times
What more can you say.
It was getting near her time
But still she wanted out,
To the pub or just the pictures
She didn"t mind being stout.
Then one night it happened
While she was all alone,
Nature took Her course
She fumbled for the phone.
The time was nearly midnight
It was dad who was awoken
'Can you come and get me,
I think my waters broken.'
'Okay' shouts her dad
'tell me where you are,
You just say the place
I"ll go get the car."
He jumped up out of bed
Put slippers on his feet
'Where are you ringing from?'
'From my knickers to my feet.'
