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
