Story Behind The Song
The song started as a folk=rock thing, then I tried it with a reggae rhythm, decided to make it sound a bit ridiculous, then wrote the lyrics to fit the mood of the tune.

(Chorus)
Oddball
Such a funny little oddball
What a kookie little oddball
Don't you know that I love you so?
Oddball
Such a crazy little oddball
Gotta love my little oddball
Can't you see you're the one for me?
(Verse 1)
Rise at four just to wash your hair
One side red and one side black
Garters and lace underwear
Skirt that's short but long at the back
Wearing polka dots with plaid
Bounce on your feet when you walk , it's true
Street-folk watch you like you're mad
I don't care , I'm in love with you
(Chorus)
Oddball
Such a funny little oddball
What a kookie little oddball
Don't you know that I love you so?
Oddball
Such a crazy little oddball
Gotta love my little odball
Can't you see you're the one for me?
(Verse 2)
Odd little things in your odd big bag
Like a clock and a spoon and a candlestick
Ignore strange looks from the uptown hag
Life's multi-choice and you took your pick
Bouncing past the restaurant
Where normal people dine at 1
Sing your own sweet tuneless song
Don't care if you don't belong
(Chorus)
Oddball
Such a funny little oddball
What a kookie little oddball
Don't you know that I love you so?
Oddball
Such a crazy little oddball
Gotta love my little odball
Can't you see you're the one for me?
(bridge)
Painting canvas I can see
Perfection in anomaly
Your sunny smile your dimpled cheek
The beauty that I seek
And underneath your oddball hair
I wonder what goes on in there
A myriad of thoughts and sounds
And colours so unique
(Chorus)
Oddball
Such a funny little oddball
What a kookie little oddball
Don't you know that I love you so?
Oddball
Such a crazy little oddball
Gotta love my little odball
Can't you see you're the one for me?
(Verse 3)
Lie on your back in the park on the grass
With a smile on your face that'd light up the sun
The faceless grey and dull go past
Your universe and you are one
They don't see what I can see
That ev'ry time you pose for me
The you and me in harmony
That only I can paint
