What a Wonderful Weird

(tune: What a Wonderful World,
Theile&Weiss (1967)
Sung by Louis Armstrong)
An Anthem for Wonderful Weirdo Day
September 9th

I think tales untold
Out of the blue
I watch them grow
To me they’re true
And I think of myself
It’s wonderfully weird

I write the first line
Unknown what’s next
Out on the keys
Arrives the text
And I think of myself
It’s wonderfully weird

The wonders of our weirdos
Fill the world with delight
Once you’re over the shock
If you look at it right
You see folks shaking heads
Saying “What’s wrong with you?”
They’re really saying
“That’s so cool!”

When I see you try
I see you grow
Weird shows us more
Than what we know
And we think of ourselves
It’s wonderfully weird

And we think of ourselves
It’s wonderfully weird
Oh Yeah
