Lyrics

THAT'S WHAT I WONDER ABOUT LIFE
GRAND PRIZE WINNER in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (S1 2017)

Words & Music by: Annie Lynn (ASCAP)

VERSES:

Why do good times go so fast?
Why do punishments seem to always last?
That?s what I wonder,
That?s what I wonder about life.

Why do friendships come and go?
Why do best pals move to Idaho?
That?s what I wonder,
That?s what I wonder about life.

CHORUS:
You can try to cheer me up,
But I?m warning you I don?t want to play.
I wouldn?t mind a hug or two though,
You see it?s been a really hard day??.

VERSE:

Why are cookies gone so fast?
Why do goldfish seem to never last?
That?s what I wonder,
That?s what I wonder about life.

CHORUS:
You can try to cheer me up,
But I?m warning you I don?t want to play.
I wouldn?t mind a hug or two though,
You see it?s been a really hard day??.


PARENT?S
VERSE :

Why do children grow up fast?
Weaving magical spells,
Why can?t it last?
That?s what I wonder,
Still I wonder about life.

(PARENT TOGETHER WITH KIDS)

That?s what I wonder,
What do you wander about life?

(DIALOG/DISCUSSION??.)

ANDREW: UM, Annie?

ANNIE: Yes?

ANDREW: Why ARE cookies always gone so fast?

ALEX: Excuse me for interrupting, but I think I have an explanation for this strange phenomenon of cookie evaporation.

HANNAH: Oh great. THIS I?ve GOT to hear!

ALEX: Well, you see it?s like this?..late at night, when kids are fast asleep, grownups get hungry for ?a little something? as they like to call it.

ANNIE: Someone stop the recording!

ALEX: WAIT!!! (HANNAH & ANDREW LAUGH)

ANNIE: Nope, that?s the end. Adios Amigos!

(ALL THE KIDS LAUGH TO FADE OUT?..)
