Why oh why does the caged bird sing?
Fallen down house, fallen down house...
Does anyone know this mystery, why oh why?
Could it be, it's the very last thing? So fragile...
Oh yes, it comes so naturally. Yes.

Maybe it's praisin' maybe its screamin',
does anyone know, does anyone know?
Maybe it's mourning, maybe it's scheming,
betta than, betta than, betta than--?
Maybe it's empty head is dreaming,
could it be tweetin, could it be tweetin?
If nobody listens, is it still singing? Hope!

Why oh why does the caged bird sing?
Fallen down house, fallen down house...
Does anyone know this mystery, why oh why?
Could it be, it's the very last thing? So fragile...
Oh yes, it comes so naturally. Yes.

Maybe it's free or could be leavin?
Secret to me, secret to me!
Maybe it's cold, cold heart heart is greivin...
We are fallin!
Maybe it's lustin his last season...steamin...
Maybe it's thankful, could be pleasing. Why?

dah, da dah..

Why oh why does the caged bird sing?
Betta than, betta than betta than betta than hope!
Betta than, betta than betta than betta than hope!
Why, oh why?
Singin--
Why, oh why?
Why oh why does the caged bird sing?
