 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
