Why Oh Why - Laura Veirs

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

You put all the pennies in the telephone, dear

Goodbye goodbye goodbye

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
