I Know — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

I know why I like you
It`s `cause of your clothing and your haircut
And `cause you`re racist
I have a match; your face,
My asking your questions you can`t answer
You want to box me?

Our world works in a weird way
I`ve heard them say a man with a beard may
Frighten children or dogs but a moustache scares me more

I know why you bite me
It`s cause of your instincts and your canines
And `cause I kicked you
I have a bone to pick;
Please go on the paper, and fetch me my slippers
And stop meowing

Man`s best friend wags his tail and
Bares his teeth to the man with the mail and
Though he`s frightened of thunder he never goes to war

Tell me what`s the circumstance of circumcision?
And what goes in my daughter`s pants is whose decision?
I`ve seen the facts of inter-race realtions,
Of see-though slacks, of cyber-masturbation;
If a hundred monkeys each could get their own show,
Perhaps one day a chimp might say
“You have faith, you just need to use it, sayth the Lord”

I know why I like you
It`s `cause of your sandals and your supper
And `cause you`re Jesus
I have a match; your Dad, my dad has
Your picture right next to your mother`s,
And one of Charo

They hold hands up in heaven
And they say that their son`s name is Kevin
But I read in a book somewhere that his name is Jack
