(Overture): Why, Why, Why? Joe Jackson

Why, why, why is a word that I detest

Why, why, why must I get it off my chest

Someone always wants to investigate

I know what they're looking for

I could tell some tales that could titillate

But then they want more and more

Why, why, why is a word that I depise

Why, why, why can’t you open up your eyes

Someone always asks what it's all about

They've been doing that for years

Worry is a wait that we haul about

Until it all ends in tears

Why, why, why do we survive

What can we be going to

Why, why, if we don’t arrive

Can't we share a drink or two

Why, why, why are we alive

What with what wе're going through

Why, why, if we have to diе

Can't we share a joke or two

Why, why, why is a word that makes me mad

Why, why, why is a word I think is bad

Don't need to be told why you like a thing

Don't need to be told what's fun

You'll be growing old living like a king

If you just love someone
