Why Oh Why (Why, Why, Why)
Woody Guthrie
[Intro]
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why?
Because, because, because
Goodnight, goodnight
[Verse 1]
Why does a camel drink water?
Why, why, why?
Because a camel gets thirsty just like you and me
And everybody else does
Goodnight, goodnight
[Verse 2]
Why can't a mouse eat a streetcar?
Why, why, why?
Because a mouse's stomach isn't big enough to hold a streetcar
Goodnight, goodnight
[Verse 3]
Why can't a cow have kittens?
Why, why, why?
Because well, um…
Because cows have little calves
And cats have little kittens
And besides, dear, it's easier that way
Goodnight, goodnight
[Verse 4]
Why won't you answer my questions?
Why, why, why?
Because I don't know the answers
Goodnight, goodnight
