FOR NO GOOD REASON AT ALL

as performed by Cliff Edwards


"Ukulele Ike will now sing for no good reason at all."

Half of the world are squirrels.  Half of the world are nuts.
Half of the world live in trees and the other half live in huts.
Half of the world keeps laughing. Half of the world just cry.
Half are rich. Half are poor. And here's the reason why:

Someone made the wedding ring, for no good reason at all.
Also made the bees who sting for no good reason at all.
Someone with a wrinkled brow
Gave the world the marriage vow
And look how many suffer now
For no good reason at all.

Some women seem to love to cry for no good reason at all.
Wear fur pieces in July for no good reason at all.
After they've been wined and dined
Fussed about and treated kind
That's the time they change their mind
For no good reason at all.

Some men hustle day and night for no good reason at all.
Grabbing money, left and right, for no good reason at all.
For a million we all try
If we get it, me oh my.
We just lay right down and die
For no good reason at all.

Lovers upstairs were singing a song, for no good reason at all.
Kept me awake the whole night long, for no good reason at all.
She sang something about the spring
Preacher man and wedding ring
And then he sang that prisoner thing
For no good reason at all.
