[SC]  Why?  Why?

Why, why, why, why, why?

Why?  Why?

Why, why, why, why, why?

Why do mosquitoes like to bite us?

Why don’t giraffes get laryngitis?

Why does a seahorse go to sea?

Why should that be?  Do you know?  Not me.

Why is a tangerine so tangy?

Why is Count Dracula so fangy?

Why don’t we have eleven toes?

Well, I suppose that somebody knows.

Why does the leaning tower lean?

Why isn’t every day Halloween?

Why ain’t it easy bein’ green?

If, by and by, you figure out why,

Please get in touch.  We thank you so much.

Why are galoshes such a bummer?

Why wasn’t Schroeder born a drummer?

Why do we keep on asking “why”?

Who knows?  Not I.  Good luck, and goodbye.

Who knows?  Not I.  Good luck, and goodbye!
