Nobody Knows
Music/Lyrics by Eric Hansen

How many numbers are there the world?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

How could a boy want to kiss a girl?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Why does the mailman know my name?
How come my hamsters all look the same?
When the tub is empty why does a ring remain?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

How many stars are there in the sky?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

I lie in bed at night and wonder why
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Who ate that last piece of chocolate cake?
When something falls why does it always break?
Why is it better to give than take?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

If God made everything
then who made God?
Nobody knows

Where did the lighting bug get its glow?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

If you find out I wish you’d let me know
‘cuz nobody knows
Nobody knows

Why does the mail-man know my name?
How come my hamsters all look the same?
When the tub is empty why does a ring remain?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Who put the rainbow in the rainbow trout?
Who on earth invented sauerkraut?
When I grow up I’m gonna find out all about these things that
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

And I’m gonna tell my kids about all those things that
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows


Repeat and fade
