I Know Why The Willow Weeps

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 its 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 its head to cry
 Now you know why the willow weeps
 If you've ever wondered the reason why
 The willow hangs its head to cry
 Now you know why the willow weeps
 Now you know why the willow weeps
