Are Oranges called Oranges...
Насмешливая песня на вопрос "Are oranges called oranges because oranges are orange, or is orange called orange because oranges are orange?" (Апельсины называются апельсинами, потому что апельсины оранжевые, или оранжевый называется оранжевый, потому что апельсины оранжевые?)

Everybody's got a question on their great big mind
And they're questions of each and every kind
Who are we? Why are we here? Is there some other alien life?
Are we born just to live through suffering and strife?
The world is old, I'm sure a lot of them have answers
But still there are a lot of things that we don't know!
The thought's not very far away - in fact I wonder every day
So sing with me, as I ask this and say:
Chorus:
Are oranges called oranges 'cause oranges are orange?
Or orange is called orange because oranges are orange?
It's really hard to tell, nobody knows it well
Who named it first, the colour? The fruit? It confuses us to hell!
Are oranges called oranges 'cause oranges are orange?
Or orange is called orange because oranges are orange?
It may be really that hard to answer and it may take us really long,
So for now let's just go with this silly song!
I never thought that eight same words repeated make some sense
And when I ponder it, I can't no more pretend
My friend can't answer it straight, my cousin thought of it a lot
Oh, is this something ridiculously planned plot?
I'd search for it and they'd all give me diff'rent answers
And it's never even coming close to clear
This kind of question made me think - what kind of psycho is this thing?
As long as it's unanswered, I shall sing:
(Chorus)
