Lyrics I'll Tell You Why That Is - Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, Tom Waits

I'll Tell You Why That Is

Now, you may see two happy people
In love and together
I’ll tell you why that is
Or some little girl
Looks real good in a real tight sweater
I will tell you why that is
Now, your pals from prison
Just wrote you a real fine letter
I’ll tell you why that is
And a diamond ring looks real good
On my pinky finger, yeah
I will tell you
(You'll tell me)
Why that is
(Alright)
An apple ain’t orange
But an orange is
I can tell you why that is
