Editing Ignorance is Bliss

[[Image:Ignorance.jpg|thumb|Bowser sets up the song in [[White Knuckle Scorin'#Comic Synopsis|the comic]] included with the CD.]]

'''''Ignorance is Bliss''''' is a jazzy song performed by the band "Jellyfish". It was featured in the album '' [[White Knuckle Scorin']] '' that [[Nintendo]] released in 1991.

The song takes us into the mind of [[Bowser|King Bowser Koopa]], who seemingly tells an imprisoned [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] about how he wants to become an oil tycoon by getting rid of  all of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi's]] in [[Dinosaur Land]], which along the way, he "explains" why brawn is more needed than brain.

== Lyrics ==

<br> Wake up!
<br> Miss Toadstool, it is I, your one and only king, Bowser Koopa.
<br> I'm a turtle as you've seen,
<br> A little slow and a little green,
<br> But on the whole I'd say, supuh-dupuh!
<br>
<br> Princess Toadstool, I know you're frightened! Mmm...
<br> 'Cause if you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened.
<br>
<br> So let's just say, "Ignorance is bliss."
<br>
<br> Oh, while I hate to be a bummer,
<br> I've brought you here to bring me plumbers.
<br> You know those brothers...
<br> Oh what's their names?
<br> Oh yes! Mario and Luigi, just the sound of them makes me queasy,
<br> I'd love to take that monkey wrench, I'd play my own game...
<br>
<br> Princess Toadstool, you're so misguided! Mmm...
<br> I've never been fond of bookworms, but then again this one does make good Mario bait!
<br> I can't wait.
<br> Ignorance is bliss!
<br>
<br >With my magic book, I'll shower,
<br> Those clumsy lizards with my power,
<br> Until Dinosaur Land is nothing but fossil fuel.
<br> My only problem with these spells,
<br> Is that I know not what they tell
<br> So every hex leaves me perplexed and all I want are those plumbing fools!
<br>
<br> Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever! Mm...
<br> All your words are alphabet soup,
<br> A picture tells it better.
<br> I'll say it again! "Ignorance is bliss."
<br >Haven't you heard? A picture is worth a thousand words.
<br>
<br> You call yourself a Princess, but you're a braniac in a dress.
<br> I can't believe you waste time with these books!
<br> You remind me of my kid sister,
<br> She read so much she got a blister,
<br> A big one, I mean BIG, on a brain! 
<br> What a shnook!
<br>
<br> I'd like to get my hands...
<br>
<br> Just one time with a monkey wrench...
<br>
<br> I'll fix their plumbing!
<br>
<br> Princess Toadstool, I know you're frightened! Mm... (So misguided)
<br> 'Cause if you knew just why you're here, your fear would just be heightened!
<br>
<br> Princess Toadstool, you're not so clever! Mm... (Pictures say it better)
<br> All your words are alphabet soup, a picture tells it better!
<br>
<br> For the last time...
<br> On second thought, I think I've made my point!
