lyrics

When I was young...
I never wanted things done by the books
Thought it was fun and strange
'till someone gave me funny looks
I used to cry
on forest floors in little hidden nooks
'till this one time
I ate this funny fungi
whole world shook
now I say...

Why say why?
Why not say why not?
Live 'till ya die
Don't say why,
Say why not!
Why say why?
Why not say why not?
Live yer life
Don't say why,
Say why not!

Let's pull the fringes 'till they fray,
let's go to Paris in the rain
Bent outta shape to straighten out
and hop the fence and have a cow
Yeah, let it loose
ya get the goose
ya shoot my dog and call me Saul
and kill the cat inside the box
and put a saddle on that frog

Why say why?
Why not say why not?
Live 'till ya die
Don't say why,
Say why not!
Why say why?
Why not say why not?
Live yer life
Don't say why,
Say why not!

We'll take the knots right out them knickers
the hissy out the fit
We'll take the belly out the snake
right out the wagon
out the pit
I got the trees to bribe the dogs
So check yer ass and scratch yer watch
and dill that pickle, pick that bone,
fill my cup and take me home

Why say why?
Why not say why not?
Live 'till ya die
Don't say why,
Say why not!
Why say why?
Why not say why not?
Live yer life
Don't say why,
Say why not!
