Just Ask A Question Lyrics - Sesame Street

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"
