Ask The Dragon

Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono

Ask the dragon why she's crawling with eight legs

And she says, "Dunno, I'm just doing it"

Ask a giraffe, why he's keeping his neck straight

And he says, "Dunno, I'm just doing it"



Ask a bird, why he's flying so high

And he says, "Dunno, I'm just doing it"

Ask a girl, why she's dancing in the wind

And this is what she says



"Ask an elephant, why he's raising his trunk

And he says, dunno, I'm just doing it

Ask a tiger, why he's running so fast

And he says, dunno, I'm just doing it"



Ask a monkey, why he's swinging from a tree

And he says, "Dunno, I'm just doing it"

Ask a guy, why he's dancing in the sun

And this is what he says



"Ask an elephant, why he's raising his trunk

And he says, dunno, I'm just doing it

Ask a tiger, why he's running so fast

And he says, dunno, I'm just doing it"



Ask a monkey, why he's swinging from a tree

And he says, "Dunno, I'm just doing it"

Ask a guy, why he's dancing in the sun

And this is what he says
