Lyrics

1. I know that Babe Ruth makes home runs
   And Dempsey is the champ
   Marconi made the radio
   And Cleopatra was a vamp
   I know that Spark Plug is a horse
   I’m a smart guy, there’s no doubt
   But there’s one thing I don’t know
   And I’m dying to find out

Chorus
Who takes care of the caretaker’s daughter
While the caretaker’s busy taking care?
Gee! oh! gosh oh! gee
That’s what worries me
I know that the caretaker must take care
And while he’s taking care she’s alone somewhere
But who takes care of the caretaker’s daughter
While the caretaker’s busy taking care?

2. I know that chickens lay the eggs
   And milk comes from a cow
   I know that money comes from banks
   Because I’m smart that way somehow
   I know there ain’t no Santa Claus
   So that proves I’m not so slow
   But at night I cannot sleep
   ‘Cause there’s one thing I don’t know
