Dan Hicks - I'll Tell You Why That Is lyrics

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 Now, your pals from prison Just wrote you a real fine letter I'll tell you why that is And a diamond ring looks real good On my pinky finger, yeah I will tell you (You'll tell me) Why that is (Alright) An apple ain't orange But an orange is I can tell you why that is Some people are day... (And some people are night) ...Night people I will tell you why that's right When the girls come lookin' for love, mmhmm They look for the guys in the band (The man knows a lot of things) I'll tell you why that is I'm having a ball being a know it all Staying on top of my little scam That's why I am who I am, baby 'Cause I know all these things So stop right up and shake the hand of the man Who admits to know it all I know a lot of things Besides that, I can sing... Well, how come you think I've got the name know it all? (Frankly, I don't know) You think that's just a fluke? I don't think so (Could be) Well I, I know why everything's happening You stick around, well, I'll tell you why (Yeah, alright) Now you see some guys out on the street And they're just wild about chicks I'll tell you why that is Son of a gun dirty boys Just like to go out and play dirty tricks But I can tell you why that is I know why that is And Jesus Christ and God and all them cats They don't know anything And besides that, they can't even sing Rich man get all the women and fun And would you believe you're looking at one? That's why I am who I am, baby 'Cause I know all these things I'm willing to listen to you If you're willing to listen to me (Well, alright, that's for sure) But you know, you gotta sing it for me again You gotta get up and sing
