It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know and I, never looked 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
Tie up all your problems, and make them look neat
And then to serve 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, never looked back
It's a very strange world, and I thank you, Master Jack
I saw right through the way you started teaching me, now
So someday soon, you could get to use it somehow
I thank you very much, I know you've been very kind
But I rather move along, before you change my mind
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
No hard feelings if I never come back
It's a very strange world, and I thank you, Master Jack
You taught me all your things, the way you'd like them to be
But I'd like to see, if any people agree
It's all very interesting, 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 feelings, 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?
