Lyrics Laura Veirs – Why Oh Why

Why, oh why, oh why oh, why
Why, oh why, oh why
Because because because because
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why can’t a bird eat an elephant
Why, oh why, oh why
‘Cause an elephant’s got a pretty hard skin
Goodby goodbye goodbye

Why can’t a mouse eat a streetcar
Why, oh why, oh why
‘Cause a mouse’s stomach could never hold a streetcar
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why does a horn make music
Why, oh why, oh why
‘Cause the horn-blower blows it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why does a cow drink water
Tell me why and why
Because the cow gets thirsty just like you or me
Goodye goodbye goodbye

Why, oh why, oh why oh, why
Why, oh why, oh why
Because because because because
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why won’t you answer my questions
Why, oh why, oh why
‘Cause I don’t know the answers
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why’s there no pennies for ice cream
Why, oh why, oh why

Why can’t a rabbit chase an eagle
Tell me why, oh why
Because because

Why ain’t my grandpa my grandma
Why, oh why, oh why
Same reason your dad’s not your mommy
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why couldn’t the wind blow backwards
Why, oh why, oh why
‘Cause it might backfire and hurt somebody
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why, oh why, oh why oh, why
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why
Because because because because
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
