  1. miscellaneous small matters (as of business) to be attended to


  2. A group of small objects of different types which are not very valuable or important.

    For example:

    1) I eventually found my keys buried beneath the odds and ends in the bottom of my bag.

  3. You can't say "I'm odds and ends" it doesn't make any sense. Then again A-Ha was a Norwegian pop group.

    Odds and ends means - bits and pieces, scraps, an assortment or group of various sundry or insignificant items.

  4. Disorganized group of things of various kinds are referred as 'odds and ends.'If someone says that 'I'm odds and ends', he means that his life is not well organized.

    *

  5. The expression "at odd and ends" means confused, undecided, mixed up, thoughts in disarray.

    "Odds and ends" or "bits and pieces" are small pieces of fabric or other small objects; the remnants left after making something like an an article of clothing or other small construction.

    Don't pay too much attention to song lyrics, especially by non-English groups, to try and understand English phrases. They often make no sense at all and are just used to 'fit' or rhyme. In this case they left out "at".

    By the way, I still love that song!
