Lyrics

What about Carl?[note 1]
He's finished his mechanics experiment that was assigned
He still has fifteen minutes until the bell
Nothing to do, time to waste
Finished ahead of everyone else
Or, so he thinks
Anyway, he's finished ahead of Ellen
She seems to be having trouble
Carl would like to help
But, she's looking for someone else

Why?
Why is that?
Why does she go over to ask Andy?
Why?
Why?

Why?
Why is that?
Why does she go over to ask Andy?
Why?
Why?

Oh, that's why
Maybe it's just as well as she didn't ask Carl, he doesn't seem to know himself
But Andy does
How 'bout that?
Ellen knew that
Is he smarter than Carl?
Does he study more at home?
Maybe Carl wasn't the first to finish after all
Maybe he could get more out of his time in school
Now comes a decision

Why?
Why is that?
Why does she go over to ask Andy?
Why?
Why?

Why?
Why is that?
Why does she go over to ask Andy?
Why?
Why?

Maybe Carl wasn't the first to finish after all
Maybe he could get more out of his time in school
Now comes a decision
