[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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 the fact
I know I belong with you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 with you, ow
[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
Last but not least
But baby, most of all
Why do I m-m-mumble every time you call
[Chorus]
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 with you, ow
[Outro]
Strange, you got a big double head and one bloodshot eye
Strange, you got five double chins, you eat baboon pie
Strange, your knees 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, I don't know what it is
Strange, I'm gonna leave you alone, gonna leave you like this
