Who’s to Say? Songtext
von Sly & the Family Stone

Hmm-hmm

If you get to laugh and want to take a bath
With someone, you just got to know (ha-ha-ha)
It might be the season
Or it could be the reason
But this time you might really know (ha-ha)

What should I sing of, who could never mingle?
Every trust he found was a chance, chance, chance, yeah!
What about the Joneses? What really ′bout the Stoneses?
Would they take the music to the dance floor, dance?
(Who is to say why?)

Mmm-well then, since she's been imposin′
Chit-chit-chat has been rosin' (on the fly)
When time keeps on goin' by (on the fly)
You can always play for anything you play for
So don′t you be a reason to cry


Will the church decide how you shoud feel inside? No!
Weigh you in and now you′re out
'Cause you didn′t want to mess with
Anybody's guess if your favored religion left you in doubt

(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba) oh, yeah!
(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba, ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)

(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(A-who, a-who, who′s to say?)

(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(A-who, a-who, who's to say?)
(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(A-who, a-who, who's to say?)
(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(A-who, a-who, who′s to say?)
(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(A-who, a-who?)


(Who is to say why?)
Mmm-wo-hoo-ye-ah! Oh, yeah!
(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba, ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(Who′s to say?)
(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba, ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
(Who's to say?)

(Ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba, ya-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba)
Mmm-wo-woo-woo
If you get to laugh and want to take a bath with somebody
(Who′s to say?)
Oh, if you get to laugh and want to take a bath with someone
You just got...
