A man invades a sacred temple in the desert
And makes off with the Pharoah's holiest of treasures
It brings him wealth and fame
And credits to his name
But when he disappears,
All those who hold it fear the same
Weird and wonderful
A family driving on a lonely stretch of highway
Returning sadly from a very pleasant holiday
Just then the starry night
Is filled with blinding light
They'd later testify
They'd never seen a greater sight
Weird and wonderful
In Sicily there lives the daughter of a peasant,
Who every Christmas gets a special kind of present
They come from foreign lands
To try to comprehend
The blood that's flowing
From a little child's feet and hands
Some things you can't explain
Weird and wonderful
