Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why can't a dish break a hammer?
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
'Cause a hammer's a hard head
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 2]
Why? Oh why? Oh why? Oh!
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
Because, because, because, because
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Why can't a mouse eat a streetcar?
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
Because a mouse's stomach could never
Get big enough to hold a streetcar
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 5]
Why does a horn make music?
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
Because the horn-blower blows it.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 6]
Why does a cow drink water?
Tell me why and why
Because the cow gets thirsty
Just like you or me or anybody else
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 7]
Oh why? Oh why? Oh why? Oh!
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
Because, because, because, because
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 8]
Why don't you answer my question?
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
'Cause I don't know the answers
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 9]
What make the landlord take money?
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
I don't know that one myself
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 10]
Why's there no pennies for ice cream
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
You put all the pennies in the telephone
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 11]
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
Oh because, because, because
[Verse 12]
Why ain't my grandpa my grandma?
Why? Oh why? Oh why?
Same reason your daddy's not your mommy
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Verse 13]
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
[Verse 14]
Why? Oh why? Oh why? Oh why?
And why? Oh why? And why?
Because, because, because, because
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
