Small World
Words by Stephen Sondheim and Music by Jule Styne
Peaked at # 20 in 1959
Introduced in the Broadway musical «Gypsy» by Ethel Merman and Jack Klugman
«B» side «You Are Everything To Me» bubbled under at #109
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 girl who goes trav’lin'
Rather than settlin' down
Funny, 'cause I’d love to go trav’lin'
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 girl who likes children
That’s an important sign
Lucky, 'cause I’d love to have children
Small world, isn’t it?
Funny, isn’t it?
Small and funny and fine
Lucky, 'cause I’d love to have children
Small world, isn’t it?
Funny, isn’t it?
Small and funny and fine
