Funny, you’re a stranger who’s come here

Come from another town

Funny, I’m a stranger myself here

Small world, isn’t it?

Funny, you’re a girl who goes trav’lin'

Rather than settlin' down

Funny, 'cause I’d love to go trav’lin'

Small world, isn’t it?

We have so much in common it’s a phenomenon

We could pool our resources by joining forces from now on

Lucky, you’re a girl who likes children

That’s an important sign

Lucky, 'cause I’d love to have children

Small world, isn’t it?

Funny, isn’t it?

Small and funny and fine

Lucky, 'cause I’d love to have children

Small world, isn’t it?

Funny, isn’t it?

Small and funny and fine
