Why, Oh Why?

Why can’t a dish break a hammer?
Why oh why oh why?
'Cause a hammer’s a hard head
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
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 get big enough to hold a streetcar
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Why does a horn make music?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Because the horn-blower blows it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Why does a cow drink water?
Tell me why 'n' why?
Because the cow gets thirsty just like you or me or anybody else
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Why don’t you answer my questions?
Why, oh why, oh why?
'Cause I don’t know the answers
Goodby goodbye goodbye
What make the landlord take money?
Why, oh why, oh why?
I don’t know that one myself
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Why’s there no pennies for ice cream
Why, oh why, oh why?
You put all the pennies in the telephone
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Why can’t a rabbit chase an eagle?
Tell me why, oh why?
'Cause the last rabbit that took out and chased after an eagle didn’t come
Out so good and that’s why rabbits don’t chase after eagles that’s all I
Know about rabbits and eagles?
Because 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 and if it
Hurt somebody it’d keep on hurting them
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
