You die when you die So you might as well fly high before you're through So don't ask me what I’m doing don't ask me why I’m doing it I'll do what I wanna do   Maybe someday I'll decide to find a girl  With a really long fuse and a forgiving sense of humor She wouldn’t have to clean unless   She couldn’t stand the normal mess  That piles up around me inexplicably Find ourselves a preacher, rent ourselves a hall  Tie the knot go home, put the pre-nup on the wall  Get down to the task of putting up with each other  ‘Til the war becomes worse than the prospect of divorce  If this interests anyone, see me when this song is done  With this caveat...I tend to sweat a lot So brave.  The alter to the grave. I'll get y'all a medal if you see it through So don't ask me what I’m doing don't ask me why I’m doing it I'll do what I wanna do Make it known. I'd rather walk alone Than kick it from an overdose of nothing new So don't ask me what I’m doing don't ask me why I’m doing it I'll do what I wanna do Don't you misconstrue, it's all a point of view,  I’m just a wandering Jew cruising in truth canoe  Don't matter who, don't wanna be Shamu, leaping, looping through a hoop and hoping for a peer review  It's all a ballyhoo, to sell a bowling shoe, a better beer shampoo, a mandarin tattoo And while they're spooning you the yabba dabbadoo, teaching you taboos and sticking you in zapping zoos There ain't no nothin' new, It's all a deja vu, there ain't no Xanadu, So catch a cab to Timbuktu It ain't the stomach flu, it's all the fake fondue, So let the love shine through and put away the superglue Don't ask me what, don't ask me why, Don't ask me what, don't ask me why, Don't ask me what, don't ask me why, I'll do do what I wanna do
