|
There was this guy, |
|
He was down on his luck |
|
He was truly poverty's child |
|
Well, he had no home and he had no car |
|
And he wore a weary smile |
|
Moved out to |
|
L.A., knocked around for awhile |
|
But he was going nowhere |
|
Then he did this movie and it did really well |
|
Now he's a millionaire [Chorus:] |
|
You see life is a curious thing |
|
You see life, ooh life, is a curious thing |
|
I know a man who could paint the town red |
|
Had a college degree in fun ' |
|
Til the doorbell rang and long lost flame said "This little boy is your son" |
|
Gave him a suitcase and a bear |
|
Left them in a cloud of dust |
|
Now he's checking out schools and driving car pools |
|
Learning to adjust |
|
He says life is a curious thing, yeah |
|
You see life, ooh life is a curious thing |
|
Well I know that it can be demanding |
|
I know that it can be unkind |
|
I don't really understand it |
|
But, Lord sure knows |
|
I try See life is a curious thing, yeah |
|
See life, ooh life, is a curious thing |
|
Let me tell you 'bout a kid |
|
I knew A pudgy girl back in school |
|
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses |
|
The object of ridicule |
|
The other day in the check out line |
|
They were ringing up my rice and beans |
|
There she was just a pretty little face |
|
On the cover of a magazine [Chorus] |
|
Just goes to show that you never know |
|
Just what tomorrow may bring |
|
But I'll tell you this that what it is |
|
Is seldom what it seems [Chorus] |
