I’ll Tell You Why That Is Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks (Ft. Tom Waits)

[Hicks]
Now, you may see two happy people
In love and together
I'll tell you why that is
Or some little girl
Looks real good in a real tight sweater
I will tell you why that is

[Waits]
Now, your pals from prison
Just wrote you a real fine letter
I’ll tell you why that is

[Hicks]
And a diamond ring looks real good
On my pinky finger, yeah
I will tell you
(You'll tell me)
Why that is
(Alright)

[Together]
An apple ain't orange
But an orange is
I can tell you why that is
