Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What is this song all about? Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go? I wish you'd tell me, I don't know
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know
[Verse 2]
Now I'm mumbling and I'm screaming
And I don't know what I'm singing
Crank the volume, ears are bleeding
I still don't know what I'm singing
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents, yeah!
[Verse 3]
It's unintelligible, I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to bargle nawdle zouss with all these marbles in my mouth
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know
[Verse 4]
Well, we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly? We don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well, it sure beats raising cattle, yeah!
[Verse 5]
And I forgot the next verse, oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyrics sheet's so hard to find, what are the words? Oh, never mind
Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know
[Verse 6]
Well, I'm yelling and we're playing
But I don't know what I'm saying
What's the message I'm conveying?
Can you tell me what I'm saying?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well I'll see ya
Sayonara, sayonara
Ay-ye-now-a, ay-ye-now-a
Ya-da, ya-da, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah
