Verse:

Lots of little questions used to bother me,
I know all the answers now;
I know ev'ry little "wherefore,"
Ev'ry little "why" and "how";
I have no diploma, I have no degree
From a university;
But I didn't really miss much,
As long as I know this much;

Chorus:

White is black and black is white,
For no good reason that I know,
Only that my baby says it's so.
Night is day and day is night,
The moon at noon is all aglow,
Just because my baby says it's so.
I caught her kissin' someone else, to my confusion;
She said what I saw was an optical illusion.
I was wrong and she was right,
And as I said a while ago,
That's because my baby says it's so.
