Some Things I Don’t Understand

Some things I don't understand
Some things are scary and sad
Sometimes I even get bad when I'm mad
Sometimes I even get glad

Why does a dog have to bark?
Why does an elephant die?
Why can't we play all the time in the park?
Why can't my pussycat fly?

Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why

Why do big people say, "No!"?
Why are their voices so loud?
Why don't the witches and bad guys all go?
Why does the sky fly a cloud?

Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why

Why does it have to get dark?
Why can't the day always stay?
Let's say goodbye to the night time, Goodbye
Let's send the dark time away

Why do fire engines make noise?
Why is hot water so hot?
Why aren't live babies like my other toys?
Why do I wonder a lot?

Some day, oh some day, I'll know what to say
Some day, oh some day, I'll not have to say
WHY?
