Barred by the limitations of his normal use of free time He decided to expand his knowledge of subjects and ideas he had up to now been unaware of Concious of his ignorance, he headed for a shelf and chose one at random, saying Chorus: I'll take you to sleep Wrap you in my sheets Seep into my dreams Show me what it means It was the good book, it was clear as mud Title written bold in gold on human skin said "ignorance is bliss"
Sat down in front of his television he'd turn the picture up and start where he left off - Until it meant what he thought it did and ignorance was bliss [Chorus] Two men with brown patches on their elbows apear on his doorstep demanding money with menaces He turned them away saying "ignorance is bliss." [Chorus] Take your pick
