Why oh Why? (Steiny version)

Why can't hate break the human spirit?
Why oh why oh why?!
'Cause man has a pretty 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 a bird isn't that hungry.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Why do my people go hungry?
Why, oh why, oh why?
'Cause man's stomach could never fill his insatiable appetite.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Why does an instrument make music?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Because the player plays it.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Why does a cow drink water?
Tell me why n why?
What else would it drink?
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Why don't I just shut up?
Why, oh why, oh why?
'Cause I know this song is long, but I have to finish it to the end.
Goodby goodbye goodbye.

Why does the man take taxes?
Why, oh why, oh why?
He wants every penny before you die.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Why's there no pennies for ice cream
Why, oh why, oh why?
You put all the pennies in the college fund.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Why can't a rat chase a cat?
Tell me why, oh why oh why?
'Cause the last rat that took out and chased after a cat didn't come
out so good and that's why rats don't chase after cats and that's all I
know about rats and cats
Because because because.

Why ain't my grandpa my grandma?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Because then that would be weird and I'd have 9 toes.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

Why couldn't the wind blow backwards?
Why, oh why, oh why?
It doesn't matter where the wind blows, as long as it keeps blowing.
Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

*First I have to mention Woody Guthrie who wrote the original version of this song. The original is amazing and I hope this song is even 1/2 of what his is.

** I would also like to thank everybody who answered my Socratic Questions for my poem/song. The 1st person is Caitlin Mazur whose answers were the best and most important. Just Kidding. Everybody's answers were equally important to my poem/song. The rest of the people who helped me with this are: Dave Long, Kelsey Larson, Conrad Stepien, Mike Rizzo, Daniel Zaltzman, Pat Lecesse, Greg Mattson, and Joe D'Amico.
