Ask Some Questions Songtext

von Sesame Street

Now Billie Bob asked Betty Lou to go out for a ride
Said he'd come on over, wait for him outside
Well somehow she forgot to ask some more about this ride
Or you can bet that Betty Lou would sure have stayed inside

Ooooh, ya gotta ask some questions
That's how you get to know
If you'll be riding in a car, or on a buffalo
Ooooh, ya gotta ask some questions
Whenever there's a doubt
That you're wondering about
Ask and find out

Now Jimmy's sister, Mary Joe, brought home this little gift
And without asking questions, Jim opened it real quick
He ripped up all the wrappings and he looked inside and then
Then suddenly he got the drift, the gift was not for him

Ooooh, ya gotta ask some questions
Or you might get upset
That the gift you thought was yours
Was really for your pet
Ooooh, ya gotta ask some questions
Whenever there's a doubt
That you're wondering about
Ask and find out

Barry called Samantha Sue and said "Samantha, Hi,
Can me and a few friends just kinda drop on by?"
Samantha, who's a friend of sorts and seemed quite content
And then she got to wishing, she'd asked just how few he meant

Ooooh, ya gotta ask some questions
'Cause that's the way you see
If you've planned for just two friends, or planned for twenty-three
Ooooh, ya gotta ask some questions
Whenever there's a doubt
That you're wondering about
Ask and find out
Whenever there's a doubt
That you're wondering about
Ask and find out

Spoken:
Hey! Does anybody got any questions?
(sounds of "No", "Not me" etc)
In that case, I'll just go on home
