| When you’re just out walking and you pass
|
| Little signs that say, 'Keep off the grass'
|
| Did you ever stop and ask yourself, why?
|
| Pretty playgrounds children used to know
|
| Little squares where lovers love to go disappear
|
| So parking lots can grow, why?
|
| Once you start the questions never cease
|
| What’s disturbed when you disturb the peace
|
| Pets and children are prohibited, why?
|
| Ask yourself, why?
|
| And when you think about it
|
| Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen
|
| Recommended, wholesome, nice and clean
|
| Making love’s the thing that can’t be seen, why?
|
| Let your hair down just an inch or two
|
| Let your skin be red or green or blue
|
| They invent a special name for you, why?
|
| On a clear day, oh say, can you see?
|
| What remains of mountain greenery
|
| Have your glimpse of all the scenery, sky
|
| Beautiful sky, as shiny as a penny
|
| So when you’re out walking and you pass
|
| Near a sign that says, 'Keep off the grass'
|
| Put a sign right next to it that says, 'Why?' |
