Lyrics

Why oh why oh why oh
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
Goodbye, 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 on it
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Why does a cow drink water?
Tell me why and why?
'Cause a cow gets thirsty just like you or me
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Why oh why oh why oh
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 are 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?
The same reason your dad's not your mommy
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Why can'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 oh why oh why oh why?
Because, because, because, because
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
