Eric Woolfson - Funny You Should Say That lyrics
Well it's funny you should say that
It's a most peculiar thing,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
I was talking to a man,
And I saw he wore a ring,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
And I told him of a dream
Where I caught and ate a whale
Then I work up feeling hungry, he said
"That's a curious tale,
For a dream contains a wish
In this case, a giant fish,
As the pressure you were under
Might have woken you from slumber
To relieve the pangs of hunger
You just dreamed yourself a dish!"
Well it's funny you should say that,
It's a most peculiar thing,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
For I also met a man,
And he also wore a ring,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
And I told him of a dream
Where the sun was at it's height
But my toes were blocks of ice, he said,
"Let me get this right!
You are tall and so your feet
Must protrude beyond the sheet
While you sleep they're unprotected
The discomfort is detected
And it's just as I suspected
You were trying to dream some heat!"
But there are six white wolves
In the dead of the night
On a branch of a tree...
And they have such big eyes
And they're shining so bright,
All the better to see...
And they have such big ears,
All the better to hear,
And they're listening to me...
And they have such sharp teeth,
All the better to eat,
And they're looking at me...
Well it's funny you should say that,
It's a most peculiar thing,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
I was speaking to a man
But I don't recall a ring,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
And I told him of a dream
Where I turned into a snail
And he said, "It is simplicity
To follow such a trail
For this creature takes his shell
Anywhere that he may roam
But work must keep you on the move
You fear your wife may disapprove
So in the dream you just remove
And take along your home,"
If I step on a line
Something will happen...
There are rats in a jar
Something terrible will happen...
(And they have such big eyes
And they're shining so bright,
All the better to see...)
Tell me what do they want?
Tell me what can they be?
Tell me what does it mean?
Tell me what do you see?
Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems,
Fantasia
A world that's made out of dreams.
Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems,
Fantasia...
Well it's funny you should say that,
It's a most peculiar thing,
Yes it's funny you should say that.
Though I haven't met this man
So he didn't wear a ring
It's so funny you should say that.
If I told him of a dream
Where I turned into a hat
That was round and made with fur, would he say,
"Nothing wrong with that,
As I sit here in my chair
I can see your growth is spare
And it is my observation
That this caused you much frustration
So you dreamed a consolation
To replace a loss of hair!"
I'm going to be a mother
I'm going to have a child...
(If I step on a line
Something will happen...
There are rats in a jar
Something terrible will happen...)
(But there are six white wolves
In the dead of the night
On a branch of a tree...)
There are wolves in the tree
But the tree never grew
There are rats in the jar
But the curse wasn't true
Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems
Fantasia
A world that's made out of dreams
Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems
Fantasia
A world that's made out of dreams
