Lyrics
Don'tcha Wanna Know?
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.
You can learn from others if you listen close
You could fly a plane or make French toast
And if you know a thing or two about sewing buttons or the color blue
Give it to a friend, it's no surprise
It's only what you know that'll make you wise
Make you smarter
Don'tcha wanna know?
Don'tcha wanna know?
Don'tcha wanna know why the sky is blue
Or doesn't that matter that much to you
Don'tcha wanna know how times goes by
Or how it is that birds can fly
So many questions spinning 'round your mind
Doesn't it make you want to ask 'why?'
You can learn from others if you listen close
You could fly a plane or make French toast
And if you know a thing or two about sewing buttons or the color blue
Give it to a friend, it's no surprise
It's only what you know that'll make you wise
Don'tcha wanna know?
Don'tcha wanna know?
Don'tcha wanna know why your big brotha's bigga
Or how a butterfly come from a catapilla
Don'tcha wanna know where you came from
Or why you laugh when you're having fun
All these answers are waiting for you
But you've gotta ask a question or two
You can learn from others if you listen close
You could fly a plane or make French toast
And if you know a thing or two about sewing buttons or the color blue
Give it to a friend, it's no surprise
It's only what you know that'll make you wise
Make you smarter
Fireman Bob can show you how to put that crazy fire out
And your teacher at school will teach you how to read and write and to count
So listen to your friends who are in the know
It's the best way to make your mind grow
Make your mind grow
Don'tcha wanna know how to ride a bike
Or make that chocolate cake you like
And wouldn't you like to know
how a zebra gets its stripes
Or how to make someone feel better
when they're not feeling right
Don'tcha wanna know how to sing a song
We could use your help come on sing along
You can learn from others if you listen close
You could fly a plane or make French toast
And if you know a thing or two about sewing buttons or the color blue
Give it to a friend, it's no surprise
It's only what you know that'll make you wise
Make you smarter
You can learn from others if you listen close
You could fly a plane or make French toast
And if you know a thing or two about sewing buttons or the color blue
Give it to a friend, it's no surprise
It's only what you know that'll make you wise
Much smarter
You can learn from others if you listen close
You could fly a plane or make French toast
And if you know a thing or two about sewing buttons or the color blue
Give it to a friend, it's no surprise
It's only what you know that'll make you wise
Make you wise
Don'tcha wanna know?
Don'tcha wanna know?
