I'll Tell You Why That Is - Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, Tom Waits

Now, you may see two happy people

In love and together

I’ll tell you why that is

Or some little girl

Looks real good in a real tight sweater

I will tell you why that is

Now, your pals from prison

Just wrote you a real fine letter

I’ll tell you why that is

And a diamond ring looks real good

On my pinky finger, yeah

I will tell you

(You'll tell me)

Why that is

(Alright)

An apple ain’t orange

But an orange is

I can tell you why that is
