Lyrics

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

(instrumental-first two lines of third verse)

Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children

Small world, isn't it?

Funny, isn't it?

Small and funny and fine
