Master Jack

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master JackYou taught me all I know and I'll never look backIt's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

You took a colored ribbon from out of the skyAnd taught me how to use it as the years went byTo tie up all your problems and make them look neatAnd then to sell them to the people in the street

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master JackYou taught me all I know and I'll never look backIt's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

I saw right through the way you started teachin' me nowSo someday soon you could get to use me somehowI thank you very much and know you've been very kindBut I'd better move along before you change my mind

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master JackNo hard feelings if I never come backIt's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

You taught me all the things the way you'd like them to beBut I'd like to see if other people agreeIt's all very interesting the way you disguiseBut I'd like to see the world through my own eyes

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master JackNo hard feelings if I never come backYou're a very strange man and I thank you, Master JackYou're a very strange man and I thank you, Master JackYou're a very strange man, aren't you, Master Jack?
