When you're just out walking and you pass
Little signs that say
Keep off the grass
Did you ever stop and ask yourself why

Pretty playgrounds children used to know
Little squares where lovers love to go

Disappear so parking lots can grow, why
Once you start the questions never cease
What's disturbed when you disturb the peace
Pet's and children are prohibited
Why Ask yourself why
And when you think about it
Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen
Recommended wholesome nice and clean
Making love's the thing that can't be seen, why

Let your hair down just an inch or two
Let your skin be red or green or blue
They invent a special name for you, why
On a clear day
oh say can you see

What remains of mountain greenery
And your glimpse of all the scenery, sky
Beautiful sky
as shiny as a penny
So when you're out walking and you pass
Near a sign that says Keep off the grass

Put a sign right next to it that says Why

why ask yourself why

why ask yourself why

why ask yourself why

why ask yourself why
