LYRICS
\nFunny thing… once there was a king
\nHe didn’t know a God damned thing
\nHe’d say, “Why not bring on the onslaught?”
\nThen he’d say, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”<\/p>\n
Funny thing… when the children sing
\nTheir soul hatches then takes wing
\nThey sing, “Why not five it all we got?”
\nThe choir sings, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”<\/p>\n
Funny thing… why doesn’t the king
\nLet go of everything and learn to sing
\nFinally the enlightenment he sought
\nWill be said, “He got. Yeah! We got!”<\/p>\n
