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
