Strange

Elvis Costello · Original Album Series [2012]

How many wrinkles in a pickle

How many hairs in a head

How many waves in the ocean

How many crumbs in bed

But last but not least, but baby most of all

Why do I m-m-mumble everytime you call



Because you're strange to me baby

Oh, you're good to me mama

Well, I admit you are strange

But baby please don't change

I know I belong with you



How many bubbles in soap

How many chewings in gum

How many rolls in a wheel

Where did eyeballs come from

But last but not least

But baby most of all

Why do I m-m-mumble everytime you call



Because you're strange to me baby

Oh, you're good to me mama

Well, I admit you are strange

But baby please don't change

I know I belong with you



How many blanks in a blanket

How many cuts in a knife

How strong is a bedbug

And how deep is his bite

But last but not least

But baby most of all

Why do I mmmumble everytime you call



Because you're strange to me baby

Oh, you're good to me mama

Well, I admit you are strange

But baby please don't change

I know I belong with you



Stange you got a big double head and one bloodshot eye

Strange you got five double chins

Strange your knees look like the knees on a billy goat

Strange you got two left legs

Strange there's something wrong with you I don't know what it is

Strange I'm gonna leave you alone, gonna leave you like this
