Text: Elvis Costello. Strange.

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 every time 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 to 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 every time 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 to you

How many blanks in a blanket
How many cuts in a knife
How strong is a bedbug
And how deep is his bite
Last but not least, but baby, most of all
Why do I m-m-mumble every time 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 to you

Strange you got a big double head and one bloodshot eye
Strange you got five double chins [Incomprehensible]
Strange your knees look like the knees on a billy goat
Strange you got two left legs [Incomprehensible]
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
