The Thing Is Lyrics

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? (Thought so) Isn't that the place where Suzi Wong's from? (Correct)
I saw the film and did you like it? (Think so) Well, to be honest I didn't mind it
Now I was sitting back in my chair [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-thing-is-lyrics-gilbert-osullivan.html ] 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?
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 'It Will Be Done', 'Thy Will Become' Not this or that or thee
But something far more mature like Victor E Some that were written previously Why not hear me?
