The Thing Is - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Oh I was walking down the street

When a man came up to me

And said don’t I know you?

And I said, well, you might do

But the thing is ooh, the thing is

I don’t know you-

Now I was driving in my car

And I had not gone very far

When from out of nowhere

I thought I saw a big bear

But the thing is ooh, the thing is

No bear was there —

Did somebody here just mention (Hong Kong)

Isn’t that the place where Suzi (Wong's form)

I saw the film (and did you like it?)

Well, to be honest I didn’t mind it

Oh, I was sitting back in my chair

When a man came on the air

And said, well, hello there

And, I said, well, hello there

But the thing is (but the thing is)

Ooh, the thing is (ooh, the thing is)

I don’t have a radio

I don’t have a radio

But I’ve got a sister in Crewe

I don’t have a radio

I don’t have a radio

And I’ve got a brother there, too

Do you?

Interlude

That’s all for now

But before you turn to the other side

You can go out

With a taste of the music I’ll provide

There are songs that I’ve written recently like…
