lyrics

Walking down the street with you baby,
you think I'm drunk, but I'm just crazy.
You ask me what I know, it sets my mind to roll,
what do I know, what do I know?

I know how to clean, and read, and sew.
I know how to plant and watch it grow.
I know how to love and help a friend.
I know how to laugh, or hold it in.

I can find a river by it's smell.
Pay my peace to nature's pioneers.
What I know is far beyond my fears,
open up the window you will hear.

To do, to do to do is all I know.
To do, to do to do is all I know.
I know. I know.

I can see the color in your face,
feel your great achievements and disgrace.
I can cry and darling I can crow,
break me open, darling watch me glow.

To do, to do to do is all I know.
To do, to do to do is all I know.
I know. I know.

When I'm in my bodily dying bed,
do not worry, darling, where I'll go.
Let me rest in peace with what I know.
