The Thing Is Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

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... 

(Extract) 

And some that were written previously 

Why not hear-Me
