Know​-​It​-​All

from A Brief History of Tymm by Robin Tymm

/

lyrics

My head is full of facts and figures on every subject you can name
'Cause I like to read encyclopedias, it stimulates my brain
By means of demonstration you can ask me anything
Why don't we start off with the dates of every English Queen and King

I find the world is filled with information, yeah, really makes you think
I can list the Periodic table from Aluminum to Zinc
You'll always find me willing to help in every way I can
From who discovered penicillin to the highest mountain in Japan

CHORUS
Yeah, I'm a know-it-all, I'm a know-it-all
When you're looking for some answers to the questions great or small
When you need to phone a friend then I'm the number you should call
'Cause I'm a know-it-all

I can quote verbatim Shakespeare's sonnets and his famed soliloquies
I've read the main romantic poets, can recite their words with ease
And modern culture doesn't faze me, I'm up with all the latest news
From Kurosawa to Scorsese, Dustin Hoffman to Tom Cruise

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
I like sports and science and nature
I’m entertained by history
Whilst I love arts and literature
I’d be lost without geography

I'm a walking sporting almanac, I'm the statisticians friend
I'm lightning fast with fascinating facts of who won what and when
And if you're talking modern music I'm a geek, a nerd, a fan
I'll tell you each and every number one since the hit parade began

It's a workout for the mind that doesn't need a bat or ball
You see a healthy love of trivia ain't trivial at all
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and ignorance is bliss
But I think stupid is the greatest sin that ever did exist

REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, if you need to phone a friend then I'm the number you should call
'Cause I'm a know-it-all
