I Know Why the Willow Weeps
Fairground Attraction

Back in the days of the dinosaur

The willow stood proud like the sycamore

The apes got smart and learned how to talk

And eat with a knife and a spoon and a fork

They moved into houses that turned into towns

And invented devices to blow them all down

That's why the willow weeps

That's why the willow weeps

If you've ever wondered the reason why

The willow hangs it's head to cry

Now you know why the willow weeps

Now the corn don't grow where the rain don't fall

Then you hear those hungry children bawl

But apes don't hear, they're playing games

Climbing mountains built out of grain

And the newspapers don't even number the dead

They're counting the Hollywood stars instead

That's why the willow weeps

That's why the willow weeps

If you've ever wondered the reason why

The willow hangs it's head to cry

Now you know why the willow weeps

If you've ever wondered the reason why

The willow hangs it's head to cry

Now you know why the willow weeps

Now you know why the willow weeps
