Rain On the River,
Turned a Torrent to a Flood.
Swim Or You'll Never Rise Above.
Two Lonely People,
Can Mend a Broken Heart.
Love and You'll Never Fall Apart.
But Can You Tell Me Why?

They Made a Good Bowl of Chili At the Jazz Club, Can You
They Played a Good Game of Football in Mucron. Tell Me,
They Got Everyone Off At the Top Rank Babe, Can You Tell Me
If You Could Ever Get Into Their Suite. Why?
Avenue Tombola and Social, Can You
We Just Drove Right On By. Tell Me,
We Were On Our Way to the Big Time Baby, Can You Tell Me
To the Great Gold Record in the Sky. Why?

The Sun in the Morning,
Brings a Flower From a Bud.
Hail to the Giver, Life and Love.
Two Lonely People,
Can Mend a Broken Heart.
Love and You'll Never Fall Apart.
But Can You Tell Me Why?

Can You Tell Me, Tell Me Why?
Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why.

Great Gold Record in the Sky.
