Why is there time
   Why is there space
   Why are there dogs and cats and trees and the human race
  
   And why am I here and not over there
   And why are there nuns
   And why do they pray
   And where do we go when we pass away
   And why, when I ask my Dad does he say
   Go ask your Mom or just go away
   And O.K., I'll go away, but they won't go away
  
   Chorus:
  
   Those mysteries
   Tomorrow I'll find out all I should know
   Those mysteries
   I don't even know what I don't even know
   Those mysteries
   They're hanging around and around and around and around
  
   Why is there you
   Why is there me
   Why does my Mother kiss my Father occasionally
   And why am I sore whenever I'm hit
   And why is there France
   And why is there Spain
   And why am I here and why is there rain
   And why when I ask my Dad does he say
   Go ask your Mom or just go away
  
   And O.K., I'll go away, but they won't go away
  
   (Chorus)
