He's just a kid who hid inside a hole 
 His ears could no more hear the story told 
 No longer did he wonder of gettin' old 
 As birds encouraged him on life to hold 
    And they said 
 Why, oh why, oh why you don't even try 
 Why, oh why, oh why you don't even try 
 Why, oh why, oh why just one more night 
 Why, oh why, oh why you don't even try   
 He's just a kid who hid inside a hole 
 His eyes could no more see the story told 
 No longer shivering for fear or cold 
 As birds encouraged him on life to hold   
 And they said 
 Why, oh why, oh why you don't even try 
 Why, oh why, oh why you don't even try 
 Why, oh why, oh why just one more night 
 Why, oh why, oh why you don't even try
