A Lotta Questions Lyrics
Are there ants in Antarctica?
Are there gnus in New York?
Do they make jam in Jamaica
And why do they call pig ‘pork?’
Do they wash in old Washington?
Are they all mad in Madrid?
Do they bath in Barcelona
And why do they call me ‘kid?’
I’ve got a lotta questions,
Buzzing round in my head,
But not a lot of answers
It has to be said!
Are there marbles in Marble Bar?
Are there birds in Birdsville?
Are there oranges in Orange?
And why is William called ‘Bill?’
Do they mow lawns in Launceston?
Are there sheep in Bahrain?
Is it cool in Coolangatta
And what’s all this rain in Spain?
I’ve got a lotta questions
Buzzing round in my head,
But not a lot of answers
It has to be said!
