[Verse 1] Well, you see me sittin' here with a coffee cup, Steam's risin' high, yet you still pipe up, "Is that coffee you're drinkin'?" you say with a grin, I reckon it ain't moonshine, but let's pretend! [Chorus] Why do you ask what you already know? Like a rooster askin' if the sun's gonna show, It's plain as the nose right there on your face, Why do you ask? It's a curious case. [Verse 2] I’m wearin' my boots and my dusty old hat, You ask, "Are you a cowboy?" Well, imagine that! If I had a dollar for each silly line, I'd buy me a ranch and a case of good wine. [Prechorus] I ain't mad, just amused as can be, These questions, my friend, are pure comedy. [Chorus] Why do you ask what you already know? Like a fish wonderin' if water will flow, It's clear as a bell, as bright as the day, Why do you ask? It's a funny cliché. [Bridge] Is that rain when you feel a drip on your head? Is that a book when you're flippin' what's read? Do cows moo? Do trucks make a hum? Do you ask 'cause you're bored or just havin' some fun?
