Why, Oh Why Lyrics - 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 

Goodbye 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

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? 

And oh, because because because 

Why ain't my grandpa my grandma?

Why, oh why, and why?
