The Stranglers
It’s a Small World
Many roads to travel down
There are many surprises to find
But as luck will have it
You can stumble in the valley of the blind
Friends will always tell you
Fate will rear its ugly head to frighten you
But the hands of time hold something
And he's offering it all to you

Watch out for a surprise
It's nature's biggest prize
And if it comforts you discover
It's a small world too

Read your books and study hard to find the kick
That makes you carry on
But if luck's a kind friend she will show you
How and why it all began

Just look in the backyard
You won't have to look hard
The crossword's final clue discover
It's a small world too

When your friends are gathered round
And you draw straws to find out who goes first
Climb the wall out of your pleasure garden
See a flower die of thirst
A circle's always round
The truth lies underground
You may just join the queue
Discover it's a small world too

It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too
It's a small world too....
