Letra da Música Foolish Questions de Ben Colder

Ya'll have heard about foolish questions and no doubt you wondered why
That a person who would ask 'em expects a sensible reply
Did you ever bring a girl a box of candy say right after tea
You notice how she'll grab it and she'll say is this for me

Foolish questions you should answer when you can
No the candy's for your daddy and momma and John the hired hand
I just wanted you to see it now I'm gonna take it away
Wadn't that a foolish question you'll hear 'em nearly every day

Then you all have seen the man who meets you on your way
He'll ask you where are you going and he'll listen while you say
That you goin' to the funeral of poor ole brother Ned
And just as soon as you've told him he'll say is Ned dead

Foolish question this should be your reply
No we thought we'd have the funeral then later on he'd die
Brother Ned was so original he wanted it that way
Now wasn't that a foolish question you hear 'em nearly every day

Suppose an elevator boy forgets to close that door
And you should tumble down the shaft say about twenty seven floors
As you reach the bottom and you're laying there in earth
And the first person that comes along says are you hurt

Foolish question your dying words are no
I was in an awful hurry and this elevator runs to slow
I find I save an awful lot of time by coming down this way
Now wasn't that a foolish question you hear 'em nearly every day
