Just Because
Grover and a Little Girl Lyrics

This looks like a good place to put this letter Y. It's a letter that comes after X and just before Z. I bet Grover doesn't know what this letter is!
The little girl is introducing the letter Y to Grover, and describing its position in the alphabet. She thinks Grover doesn't know what it is.

Skedaddle... skedaddle... skaddle-UP! I bet you think Grover does not know what this letter is.
Grover is pretending to be unsure, and the little girl is playfully teasing him.

No.
Grover replies 'no' to the question of whether he knows what letter Y is.

I didn't think so.
The little girl is not surprised by Grover's answer.

It's very pretty! It starts out with one line at the bottom and splits into two lines at the top.
Grover is describing how the letter Y looks.

That's what it looks like. But what is this letter called?
The little girl is asking Grover to identify the letter Y by name.

I do not know. Tell me.
Grover admits that he doesn't know what letter Y is called and asks the girl to explain.

Y.
The little girl provides the correct answer - the letter Y - to Grover's question.

So I can be smart. Please tell me.
Grover humbly requests that the girl tell him, as he wants to learn and be knowledgeable.

I already did!
The little girl reminds Grover that she already told him the answer.

You did?
Grover seems surprised that he missed the answer earlier.

Hmm-hmm.
The little girl confirms that she did indeed give Grover the answer earlier.

Would you tell me again?
Grover asks the girl to repeat the answer so he can hear it again and make sure he understands.

Because I did not hear you before.
Grover gives a reason for why he wasn't able to remember the answer given earlier.

Y.
The little girl repeats the answer again: the letter Y.

I don't know! Maybe my ears are on backwards! How should I know?!
Grover is confused and frustrated that he still doesn't understand.

Grover, let me give you a little hint.
The little girl kindly decides to give Grover a hint to help him figure out the answer.

All right.
Grover accepts the little girl's hint and is willing to learn.

This is the letter that you hear at the beginnings of words like yellow, yarn, year, and yo-yo.
The little girl provides a hint to Grover by pointing out some words that start with the letter Y.

Hmm... It has a cute little yih-yih sound, but I do not know what it is called.
Grover is still uncertain even after the little girl's hint.

Maybe because NO ONE WILL TELL ME!
Grover is getting upset because he still hasn't been able to figure out the answer even with the girl's hint.

why!
The little girl prompts Grover to keep trying to guess the answer.

How should I know?! Maybe no one likes me!
Grover is feeling insecure and unsure of himself, and fears that not knowing the answer to the letter Y is a reflection of people not liking him.

I don't know why no one likes me! I try to be so nice...
Grover is still upset and feeling low about himself, even though the little girl isn't actually trying to make him feel bad.

The answer is why! why-why-why! The letter is called why, like W, X, why, Z!
The little girl finally reveals the answer to Grover - that the letter is called Y - and explains its position in the alphabet.

...That's the letter why?
Grover is surprised that such a simple sound as 'why' is the letter Y.

That's what I've been trying to tell you!
The little girl is relieved that Grover finally understands the answer.

... I am sooo embarrassed...
Grover is embarrassed that he didn't know the answer, but is relieved to finally have learned it.
