The Lady Wants To Know

Daddy plays the ashtray.

Baby starts to cry.

The Lady wants to know

The reason why

Daddy's just like Coltrane.

Baby's just like Miles.

The Lady's just like heaven

When she smiles.

And the Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why.

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin'

How he hates to say goodbye.

But what she doesn't know

Is there really is no reason

There really is no reason why.

Daddy he hates airplanes.

Baby loves to fly.

And the Lady wants to know

The reason why.

Daddy's just like Coltrane.

Baby's just like Miles.

The Lady's just like heaven

When she smiles.
