Lyrics[]
Why does the world go 'round and 'round
And why does a bird have wings?
Why does the rain come raining down?
That's the nature of things
Why is the elephant big and strong
And why are the lions kings?
Why is the giraffe's neck so long?
That's the nature of things
Things of nature, nature of things
Sometimes seem quite funny
Like what makes music when robins sing
And what makes bees make honey?
Why do the stars twinkle in the sky
And what makes Saturn have rings?
Why, oh, why does the flying fish fly?
It's just the nature of things
That good old natural nature of things!
