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 and though 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

You know how I feel as if I'll never come back

It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack



You taught me all the 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 and I thank you, Master Jack
