You took a current rhythm 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 believe
And then to sell them to the people in the street

-CHORUS-
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know and I never looked back
It's a very strange world and I thank you, Master Jack

I saw right thru the way you started teaching me now
So someday soon you could get to use me somehow
I thank you very much and though you've been very kind
I'd better move along before you change my mind/

-CHORUS-

You taught me all the things the way you'd like 'em to be
But I'd like to see whether people agree
It's all very interesting the way you disguies
But I'd like to see the world thru my own eyes

It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack
You taught me all I know and I never looked 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, aren't you, Master Jack?
