It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack You taught me all I know and I'll never look back It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack You took a colored ribbon from out of the sky And taught me how to use it as the years went by To tie up all your problems and make them look neat And then to sell them to the people in the street It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack You taught me all I know and I'll never look back It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack I saw right through the way you started teachin' me now So some day soon you could get to use me somehow I thank you very much you know you've been very kind But I'd better move along before you change my mind It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack No hard feelin's if I never come back It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack You taught me all those things the way you'd like them to be But I'd like to see if other people agree It's all very int'resting the way you disguise But I'd like to see the world through my own eyes It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack No hard feelin's if I never come back You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack You're a very strange man aren't you, Master Jack ?. + Informações
