Legrand : "Ask yourself why"

Ask yourself why (捫心自問) - Kiri Te Kanawa

When you're just out walking and you pass

Little signs that say keep off the grass

Did you ever stop and ask yourself why

Pretty playgrounds children used to know

Little squares where lovers love to go

Disappear so parking lots can grow

Why

Once you start the questions never cease

What's disturbed when you disturb the peace

Pets and children are prohibited

Why ask yourself why

And when you think about it

Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen

Recommended wholesome nice and clean

Making love's the thing that can't be seen

Why

Let your hair down just an inch or two

Let your skin be red or green or blue

They invent a special name for you

Why

On a clear day oh say can you see

What remains of mountain's genery

And a glimpse of all the scenery sky

Beautiful sky

Why beautiful sky

I rather being

So when you're out walking and you pass

Near a sign that say keep off the grass

Put a sign right next to it that says why

Why

Why
