Curious Thing

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 Getting Nowhere

Then He Did This Movie and It Did Really Well

Now He's a Millionaire

See, Life Is a Curious Thing

Life, Ooh Life Is a Curious Thing

I Know a Man Who Could Paint the Town Red

Had a College Degree in Fun

'till the Doorbell Rang and a Long Lost Flame Said

"this Little Boy Is Your Son"

Gave Him a Suitcase and a Bear

Left 'em in a Cloud of Dust

Now He's Checking Out Schools and Driving Carpools

Learning to Adjust

He Says Life Is a Curious Thing

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

Life Is a Curious Thing

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

Object of Ridicule

The Other Day in the Check Out Line

They Were Ringing Up My Rice and Beans

There She Was, a Pretty Little Face

On the Cover of a Magazine

And I Said Life Is a Curious Thing

Life, Ooh Life Is a Curious Thing

(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

'cause Life Is a Curious Thing

Life, Ooh Life Is a Curious Thing. . .
