Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
Strange
[Verse 1]
How many wrinkles in a pickle?
How many hairs in a head?
How many waves in the ocean?
How many crumbs in bread?
And last but not least, but baby most of all
Why do I mu-mu-mu-mu-mumble every time you call?

[Chorus]
Because you're strange to me, baby
Whoa, but you're good to me mama
Yes, I admit you are strange
But baby please don't change
I know I belong to you

[Verse 2]
How many bubbles in soap?
How many chewings in gum?
How many rolls in a wheel?
Where did eyeballs come from?
And last but not least but baby most of all
Why do I mu-mu-mu-mu-mumble every time you call?

[Chorus]
Because you're strange to me baby
Yes, but you're good to me, mama
Whoa, I admit you are strange
But baby please don't change
I know I belong to you, yeah
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
How many blanks in a blanket?
How many cuts in a knife?
How strong is a bedbug?
And how deep is his bite?
And last but not least but baby most of all
Why do I mu-mu-mu-mu-mumble every time you call

[Chorus]
Because you are strange to me, baby
Yes, you're good to me, baby
Yes, I admit you are strange
But baby please don't change
I know I belong to you

[Outro]
Strange you got a big double head and one bloodshot eye
Strange you can have five double chins with your baboon pie
Strange your nose look like the knees of a nanny goat
Strange you got two left legs, your lips don't close
Strange there's something wrong with you, baby, I don't know what it is
