Master Jack

Four Jacks and A Jill

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
