Whatever Your Name Is

You don't have to tell me I already know That a currawong is not a kin of a crow Similar in colour and in size but the comparison ends there As little in common they do seem to share. You don't have to tell me the koala is not a bear That's something of which I'm already aware And you must think that I am one simple of mind When you try to convince me pigs can see the wind. I know unlike dogs that cats cannot bark And that a dolphin is a marine mammal and not a species of shark And a sheep and a goat I can tell apart But that doesn't prove I'm in any way smart. By the way you speak to me you must think I'm a fool And though I've not spent much of my lifetime in school Whatever your name is Bill, Johnny or Don I know when somebody is having me on.
