lyrics

Mama, can a giant touch the sky?
Can kings get out of their chairs?
What does a queen's butt
look like, mama?
Is it Robin Hood or Robin could?

Mama, do you know the answer?

Mama, what does a road hog eat?
Does blood run through your shoes?
Why are your ears wrinkled, mama?
Is a lion in the circus still
king of the jungle?

Mama, do elves wear underwear?
Is Mary Poppins God's wife?
Who made God, mama?
How come Jesus died
and came back to life?

Mama, can a tank beat up a redwood?
If you catch your cat will it
break your fishing pole?
Does gas come out of the
pump slower than I grow?
If lightning strikes your cat,
will it scream real loud,
mama?

do you know the answer?
