LYRICS
I’m afraid to ask you
“What are you up to?”
So maybe just
A “How do you do?”
Do I really want to hear
’bout pain n’ sufferin’
Again and again
Oh, dear!
What’s going on here…
Pain n’ sufferin’
When I ask, “How are things going?
When I say, “How are you doing?”
Your reply, “Fine.”
Time after time
“Fine”
All of the time
Get a grip on my stiff upper lip
I’m feeling fine
At any rate, how about “great”?
I’m feeling fine
