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

Pet's 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 greenery

And your glimpse of all the scenery, sky

Beautiful sky, as shiny as a penny

So when you're out walking and you pass

Near a sign that says "Keep off the grass"

Put a sign right next to it that says "Why?"
