If there's something you don't know

That you'd like to learn about

Don't sit and mope all day

I know a real good way

To help you get things figured out

'Cause learnin' stuff

Is not so rough

In fact it's easy if you try

Just ask a question

That starts "Where" or "When"

Or "Who", "How", "What" or "Why"

Spoken:

Okay, wanna try?

Prairie Dawn: Okay, ummmm, I got one

Sung:

Why do flowers bloom in springtime?

Tracy: Because the sun turns warm in May

Elmo: When will Elmo be a grown-up?

Tracy: You're getting older every day

Elmo: Oh good!

Telly: Tracy, how'd you get so smart?

Tracy: Well, you can really learn a lot

By asking questions that start "Where" or "When"

Or "Who", "How", "Why" or "What"

Spoken:

Elmo: Hey, Tracy, now you ask some questions

Tracy: Okay

Sung:

Herry, what's your favorite colour?

Herry: Well, my favorite colour's blue

Tracy: Rosita, what does "Tu Ma Gustas" mean?

Rosita: It means, "I like you"

Tracy: Oh, that's nice

And how can you and I

Eat just one piece of pie

All: The best way is to share

Tracy: And why are grouches grouchy?

Oscar: I don't know

And I don't care!

Tracy: A kid's main job is learning

It's your most important task

So don't be too proud

To say out loud

"I don't know, but I'll ask."

So look for someone nice

Who'll give you good advice

And when you find 'em

Don't be shy

Just ask a question that starts "Where" or "When"

Or "Who", "How", "What" or "Why"

All: Just ask a question that starts "Where" or "When"

Or "Who", "How", "What" or "Why"
