The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why oh why why?
Why why why?
Because because because
Good night good night
Why does a camel drink water?
Why why why?
Because a camel gets thirsty just like you and me
And everybody else does
Good night good night
Why can't a mouse eat a streetcar?
Why why why?
Because a mouse's stomach isn't big enough to hold a streetcar
Good night good night
Why can't a cow have kittens?
Why why why?
Because well um God
Because cows have little calves
And cats have little kittens
And besides dear it's easier that way
Good night good night
Why won't you answer my questions?
Why why why?
Because I don't know the answers
Good night good night
