How many volts are in the lightning bolt? How many stars are in the sky? How many times around the world can we navigate? Or how did the birds begin to fly? How black is it in space? Can you count the human race? The mysteries remain for me it's true But if you ask me how much I love you baby I'll answer how high's the moon? And so they used to call me lazy I've been called bone-idle and slow But when they saw me while I'm standing with my lady I've all the answers that a man could know I can barely count to ten It's a chore to hold a pen And I didn't pay attention much in school But if you ask me how much I love my baby I'll answer how high's the moon? After all the years that I watched romance walking by Hoping love would come my way I don't know much about books and stuff But lord I hope she stays But if you ask me how much I love my baby I'll answer how high's the moon? And though there's greater things at hand When you're such a simple man It's good to sometimes sing a simple tune. How many volts are in the lightning bolt? How many stars are in the sky? How many times around the world can we navigate? Or how did the birds begin to fly? How black is it in space? Can you count the human race? The mysteries remain for me it's true But if you ask me how much I love you baby I'll answer how high's the moon?
