[A] Goodbye, goodbye, [D] goodbye
_ Why can't a mouse eat a streetcar?
[G] Why, oh why, [D] oh why?

_ Why _ can't a rabbit chase an eagle?
_ [G] Tell me [D] why, oh why?
Cause the last rabbit took out and chased after an eagle
And the eagles didn't come out so good
And that's why rabbits don't chase eagles
That's all I know about rabbits and eagles
Oh, because, [A] because, [D] because _
Why ain't my grandpa my grandma?
[G] _
Why, oh why, [D] oh why?
[G]
Same reason your [D] dad is not your [A] mommy
Goodbye, goodbye, [D] goodbye
Why couldn't the wind blow backwards? _
Why, oh why, oh why? _
Cause I might backfire and have a wreck and hurt somebody
And might hurt somebody and get them all hurt and that's why
Goodbye, [A] goodbye, [D] goodbye
_ Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?
[G] And why, oh why, and [D] why?
Because, because, [G] because, [A] because
Goodbye, goodbye, [D] goodbye _ _ _ _ _
