Well, because your subject line made me laugh, I'm going to help you.  Fingering is something I have to really think about myself and many times my teacher will be baffled by what I come up with, but this piece I think I can handle.

I would play the bass clef starting with my thumb in this pattern.  1 -1 - 2 -2 - 1- 1 - 2 -1 - 5 - 2 - 1- 2 -5 and so on.  My teacher might disagree and say to play the e's in measure 5 with my 3rd finger, but that's very uncomfortable to me and I can move to the G in measure 6 easier if I use my 2nd finger for the E in measure 5.  Then I'd just keep the same fingering.

For the treble clef, I think I'd start off using 2 - 1 and repeat it.  When you have to move to the high E, I'd just do a jump to my 3, since you that will allow you to hit the C with 1, D with 2 and then the C - F chord with 1 - 4, and the next E with 3.

Fingering should be done so you can walk the keyboard with your fingers.  Hope that makes sense to you.   I'm just sort of flipping back and forth on browser tabs at my piano to figure it out, while I should really be going to bed.
