Daddy plays the ashtray

Baby starts to cry

The Lady wants to know

The reason why

Daddy's just like Coltrane

Baby's just like Miles

The Lady's just like heaven

When she smiles

And the Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why.

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin'

How he hates to say goodbye.

But what she doesn't know

Is there really is no reason

There really is no reason why.

And the Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why.

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin'

How he hates to say goodbye.

But what she doesn't know

Is there really is no reason

There really is no reason why.

Daddy he hates airplanes

Baby loves to fly

And the Lady wants to know

The reason why

Daddy's just like Coltrane

Baby's just like Miles

The Lady's just like heaven

When she smiles.

and the Lady wants to know

She wants to know the reason

Got to know the reason why.

This man has got to go

This man is always leavin'

How he hates to say goodbye.

But what she doesn't know

Is there really is no reason

There really is no reason why.
