I don’t know the words
to this song
Yeah, I don’t know the words
to this song
I just don’t know the words
So help me sing along

A song about love
A song for peace
Protesting the evils
Of the human beast
Changing all our lives
With words on a page
It was going to move you
But now it’s all been erased

Because I don’t know the words
To this song
I don’t know the words
To this song
I still don’t know the words
So help me sing along.

If you give me a second
I’ll try to remember the verse
The beat was complicated
So allow my band to rehearse
I’m sorry for the trouble
It’ll only take a bit
Then I’ll deliver the story
Or I’ll just make up some shit

See, I don’t know the words
To this song
I don’t know the words
To this song
I’m trying to figure out the words
So feel free to sing along.

A Masterpiece of music
That’s just what it’ll be
With a fiddle to remember
But it won’t be sung by me
I passed up my chance
I’ll stick to playing the blues
I’ll just hope someone else
Can pick back up the tune

I don’t know the words
To this song
I’ll never know the words
To this song
I’ll keep on trying
But it won’t last too long
