Lyrics Why, Oh Why? - Woody Guthrie
Why
can′t
a
dish
break
a
hammer?
Why
oh
why
oh
why?!
'Cause
a
hammer′s
a
hard
head.
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye.
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why
oh,
why?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
Because
because
because
because
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
Why
can't
a
bird
eat
an
elephant?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
'Cause
an
elephant′s
got
a
pretty
hard
skin.
Goodby
goodbye
goodbye.
Why
can′t
a
mouse
eat
a
streetcar?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
'Cause
a
mouse′s
stomach
could
never
get
big
enough
to
hold
a
streetcar.
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye.
Why
does
a
horn
make
music?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
Because
the
horn-blower
blows
it.
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
Why
does
a
cow
drink
water?
Tell
me
why
n
why?
Because
the
cow
gets
thirsty
just
like
you
or
me
or
anybody
else.
Goodye
goodbye
goodbye.
Why
don't
you
answer
my
questions?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
′Cause
I
don't
know
the
answers.
Goodby
goodbye
goodbye.
What
make
the
landlord
take
money?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
I
don′t
know
that
one
myself.
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye.
Why's
there
no
pennies
for
ice
cream
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
You
put
all
the
pennies
in
the
telephone.
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye.
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?
Because
because
because.
Why
ain′t
my
grandpa
my
grandma?
Why,
oh
why,
oh
why?
Same
reason
your
dad's
not
your
mommy.
Goodbye
goodbye
goodbye.
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.
