| Rain on the river,
|
| Turned a torrent to a flood.
|
| Swim or you’ll never rise above.
|
| Two lonely people,
|
| Can mend a broken heart.
|
| Love and you’ll never fall apart.
|
| But can you tell me why?
|
| They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club, Can you
|
| They played a good game of football in Mucron. |
| Tell me,
|
| They got everyone off at the top rank babe, Can you tell me
|
| If you could ever get into their suite. |
| Why?
|
| Avenue Tombola and Social, Can you
|
| We just drove right on by. |
| Tell me,
|
| We were on our way to the big time baby, Can you tell me
|
| To the great gold record in the sky. |
| Why?
|
| The sun in the morning,
|
| Brings a flower from a bud.
|
| Hail to the giver, life and love.

| Can you tell me, tell me why?
|
| Tell me why, tell me why.
|
| Great gold record in the sky. |
