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 man who goes traveling
rather than settling down.
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go traveling.
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 man who likes children.
That's an important
sign.
Lucky, I'm a woman with children.
Small world, isn't
it?
Funny, isn't it small and funny and fine?
