Curl up, my little fish

Red cellophane

Curl up, my little fortune fishWhat will be my fate?

Gold treasures in the ground

Misfortune on the open sea

Or wake up in a hotel

In some foreign country?

The world′s a sudden place

It turns on a dime

And the night falls so suddenly

Sometimes

Such interesting times

We say it like a joke

Reminds me, even Notre Dame

Can go up in smoke

It can all go up in smoke

The world's a sudden place

It turns on a dime

And the night falls so suddenly

Sometimes

A thousand miles, an hour it turns

And it never slows

I wonder we ain′t hurled into space

How folks hang on, I'll never know

A thousand miles, an hour it turns

And it never slows

I wonder we ain't hurled into space

How folks hang on, I′ll never know

The world′s a sudden place

It turns on a dime

Night falls so suddenly

Sometimes

And the world's a sudden place

It turns on a dime

The world′s a sudden place

Sometimes

The world's a sudden place

The world′s a sudden place
