Tonio K. - The Rake's Progress

Lyrics

YOU’RE NEVER TOO SMART
(Tonio K.)

(got a problem? get the answer man
got a problem? get the answer man
got a problem? get the answer man
got a …? get the)

you better watch out
and you better not cry
better watch your step
better learn your lines
put your hat on your head
put your hand on your heart
’cause you’re never too smart

gotta make the grade
gotta take the heat
gotta fake some interest
shake, shake your money maker
got the next door neighbors
and the national debt
got a million problems
solve ‘em with ink

but you better watch out
and you better not cry
better watch your step
better learn your lines
put your hat on your head
put your hand on your heart
’cause you’re never too smart

gotta name that tune
gotta solve for x
gotta get the picture
gotta pass the test
need imagination
nerves of steel
need a bright idea shinin’ out in the darkness

and you better watch out
and you better not cry
you better watch your step (watch your step)
you better learn your lines
now put your hat on your head
put your hand on your heart
’cause you’re never too smart

but wait a minute
shame on the workin’ man
shame on the poor
i guess they just haven’t been thinkin’
but we’ve taken the cure

watch out
and you better not cry
better watch your step
better learn your lines

you better watch out
and you better not cry
better watch your step
better learn those lines

(got a problem? get the answer man)
