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?
