Why did Eddie Fontaines Mama
Tell him there’d be times like these
That there would be nothing shaking
Except the leaves upon the trees

Why did Bobby Darrin sing of
Sidewalk bodies oozing life
He want to put the blame upon
That cool cart called Mack the Knife

Say you mean much more to me
Than trivial pursuits

I know the answers to the questions
But I. Aint so smart I aint so cute
Because I don’t know why you don’t love me
And my trivial pursuits

To play man with the golden arm
Why did Robert Zimmerman say
I aint gonna work on Maggie’s Farm

Say you mean much more to me
Than trivial pursuits

I know the answers to the questions
But I aint so smart aint so cute
Because I don’t know why you don’t love me
And my trivial pursuits
And my trivial pursuits

Why? What? Where?
You know where
When?
I’ve told you when
Who?
You know who
How?
How could you
Why?

I know the answers to the questions
I aint so smart I aint so cute
Because I don't know why you don’t love me
And my trivial pursuits
And my trivial pursuits

You know why
Wha
