What is the weirdest smell?
Who invented jokes?
Why can’t you eat the shell?
And what’s with artichokes?
What makes the sky look blue?
How does an airplane fly?
Why do I look like you?
Where do you go when you die?
I want to know why and how and who and which
And what and where and when.
So I’m gonna ask and ask and ask
And ask and ask again.

How does an iPod play?
Who puts the stuff in stores?
When did your hair turn gray?
Why do we still have wars?
Why do we tell the truth?
What turns the rain to snow?
And when you lose a tooth
How does the Tooth Fairy know?
I want to know why and how and who and which
And what and where and when.
So I’m gonna ask and ask and ask
And ask and ask again.

It’s okay if you don’t know, I’m not keeping score.
I don’t care, but if you care...
That’s what Google’s for.

What is above “above”? What is below “below”?
What am I thinking of? Where does linguini grow?
How does a fire burn? Where is the sun at night?
When will it be my turn? Why are you always right?
I want to know why? How? Who? Which?
What? Where? When?
So I’m gonna ask and ask and ask
And ask and ask again.
I’m gonna ask and ask and then…
I’m gonna ask again, again, again, again!

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Some Assembly Required CD.
