Those who were members of Songwriter 101 before its demise might remember this one. It's a very silly song that just kind of came to me as I was lying in bed.

I went back to it and beefed up the chorus with some backing vocals and a touch of harmonies. More importantly, I made a video, which I thought I'd share. It's nothing very sophisticated, but hopefully it provides a bit of fun, which we all could use right now. Click on full screen for the best viewing experience 🙂

PRETTY SMART SISTER

Tell me why you can’t put on mascara
With your mouth closed?
Tell me why you think you love me
Tell me why….you don’t

Tell me why….you won’t leave me alone
Tell me why….you’re leaving me
Tell me why….are you still here?
Tell me where….did you go?

CHORUS
So much that’s a mystery, mister
So much that’s crazy as hell
You look like you’re pretty smart, sister
Hey can you tell…
... me…

...what has he got that I haven’t got?
Tell me where….do I get it?
Tell me why….would I want it?
Tell me why….do you?

Tell me why I don’t want to go to bed
Tell me why….I don’t want to get up
Tell me why this song doesn’t rhyme
Tell me why it does some of the time

CHORUS
So much that’s a mystery, mister
So much that’s crazy as hell
You look like you’re pretty smart, sister
I bet you can tell…

...me…

...when….did time start?
Tell me what happens… after it stops
Tell me what lies beyond the edge of space
Tell me who…..made God

And if he made man in his own image
Tell me who made Donald Trump
Tell me why… are your fingers in your ears?
Tell me why….are you crying?

CHORUS
So much that’s a mystery, mister
So much that’s crazy as hell
You look like you’re pretty smart, sister
Hey can you tell…

...me…

...How much is that doggie in the window?
How many puppies are at the pound?
How much do they pay Kim Kardashian?
Did you lose this quarter I found?

Tell me who... in a firing squad
Wouldn't shoot to miss.
Tell me who... when a heart is breaking
Would refuse a kiss.

CHORUS
So much that’s a mystery, mister
So much that’s crazy as hell
You look like you’re pretty smart, sister
Hey can you tell… me...

…who, what, where, why, when,?
