The Zebra Question
The Zebra Dilemma: Unraveling Nature's Monochrome Riddle
Lyrics
I counted up the stripes I told myself I knew
Reflecting on counting zebra stripes and feeling certain about understanding.
I asked myself the question and I ask the same of you
Prompting others to ponder the same zebra-related question.
can you tell me please and I wrong or am I right?
An inquiry about correctness regarding zebra colors.
is a zebra white with black stripes or is it black with white?
Pondering whether a zebra is fundamentally white or black in color due to its stripes.
I grabbed a dictionary but it was no help
Seeking assistance from a dictionary without finding clarity.
the definition said find out for yourself
Encouragement to explore and discover the answer independently.
the question remains and keeps me up at night
Expressing how this perplexing question causes restlessness.
is a zebra white with black stripes or is it black with white?
Reiteration of the central question about zebra coloration.
I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
Repeatedly admitting a lack of knowledge about the zebra's color nature.
I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
-I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
-I thought about breaking in to the zoo
Contemplating breaking into a zoo to seek a zebra for direct inquiry.
to find myself a zebra to put the question to
An intention to directly pose the color query to a zebra.
I tried to sneak in but the guard was uptight
An unsuccessful attempt due to strict security at the zoo.
is a zebra white with black stripes or is it black with white?
Repeating the perplexing zebra color inquiry despite the obstacle.
I asked all my friends they stared at me weird
Asking friends for insight but receiving puzzled reactions.
I asked a wise man but he just stroked his beard
Consulting a wise person who remains silent or unresponsive.
I asked and I asked but I got no answer back
Repeatedly asking without obtaining a definitive response.
is a zebra black with white stripes or is it white with black?
Restating the central question in a different order.
I suppose that some questions they must remain
Accepting that some questions may lack clear answers and can remain unanswered.
besides I am tired and this one hurts my brain
Expressing exhaustion and frustration with the question's complexity.
I guess in the end from far away
Offering a vague conclusion that a zebra's color might appear gray from a distance.
if you squint your eyes a zebra is grey
Highlighting a whimsical or humorous viewpoint regarding the question's complexity.
