  [2-4: ]

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack

  [2-4: ]

You taught me all I know and I'll never look back

  [2-4: ]

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

(band enters)

Verse 1

  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

[repeat chorus 1]

Verse 2

I saw right through the way you started teaching me now

So someday soon you could get to use me somehow

I thank you very much, you know you've been very kind

But I'd better move along before you change my mind

Chorus 2

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack

No hard feelings if I never go back

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

Verse 3

You taught me all those things the way you'd like them to be

But I'd like to see if other people agree

It's all very interesting the way you disguise

But I'd like to see the world through my own eyes

Chorus 3

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack

No hard feelings if I never go back

You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack

Coda

  You're a very strange man and I thank you, Master Jack

  You're a very strange man - aren't you?

  [rit.] [end cold]

Master... Jack
