I'll Never Know

I'll never know why a horse
Grazing in a field all day
Should be so hard to sit upon
When he's so full of hay

I'll never know how a rose
Can look so sweet and pure
And hold its head up high
When it's standing in manure

I'll never know
(Never know, I'll never know
Never know, I'll never know)

I'll never know if it's true
That you reap just what you sow
Or if it's true that great aches
From little toe corns grow

I'll never know if it's true
When they say that fish can fly
Though the one I had for tea today
Was really rather high

I'll never know
(Never know, I'll never know
Never know, I'll never know)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The night nurse came to my room
And knocked upon the door
Then she came in and threw my bedclothes
Straight upon the floor

And then she bathed me and she scrubbed me
From my toes up to my chin
I said: Oh, tell me, nurse
Why did you knock when you came in?

'Cause I'll never know
(Never know, I'll never know
Never know, I'll never know)

I'll never know why mother nature
Gave my wife such a beautiful face
With skin as smooth as satin
And hair as soft as lace

Yes, mother nature gave my wife
That beautiful mouth that she's got
And then she stuck a tongue in it
And spoiled the bloomin' lot

Why, I'll never know
(Never know, I'll never know, never know)
(I'll never know, never know
Never know, I'll never know)
I'll never, never, never know
(Never know, I'll never know, never know)
Oh no, oh no, I'll never know
