As recorded by JOHNNY MATHIS
with Glenn Osser And His Orchestra:
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
(bridge)
Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?
Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine
