Some Things I Don’t Understand Fred Rogers

Some things I don't understand
Some things are scary and sad
Sometimes I even get bad when I'm mad
Sometimes I even get glad

Why does a dog have to bark?
Why does an elephant die?
Why can't we play all the time in the park?
Why can't my pussycat fly?

Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why

Why do big people say, "No!"?
Why are their voices so loud?
Why don't the witches and bad guys all go?
Why does the sky fly a cloud?

Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why
Why, why, why, why, why, why
I wonder why

Why does it have to get dark?
Why can't the day always stay?
Let's say goodbye to the night time, Goodbye
Let's send the dark time away
