Life Is So Peculiar

Life is so peculiar

You get so wet in the rain, you know I do

You get so warm in the sunshine, get my sun tan

It doesn't pay to complain, I never complain

When I get up each morning

There's nothing to breathe but air, yeah

And when I look in the mirror

There's nothing to comb but hair

And when I sit down to breakfast

There's nothing to eat but food

Life is so peculiar

But you can't stay home and brood

Oh, life, tell 'em about it pops, is so peculiar

The desert's only got sand, and that's grand

The oceans only got water, and you can't drink it all up

You never know where you stand

When I go out to dinner

Theres nothing to wear but clothes, yeah

And whenever I get sleepy

There's nothing to do but doze, yeah

And whenever I get thirsty

There's nothing to do but drink

Life is so peculiar

That it makes you stop and think

Yes, life is so peculiar, sure it is

A fork belongs with the knife, it sure does

Corn beef is lost without cabbage, I love cabbage

Husband should have a wife

Yes, life is so peculiar

But as everybody says

That's life

Life, yes life, it's so peculiar

A bird can usually sing, no words, I do too

A pearl is made by an oyster, New Orleans? Rampart Street

You can't be sure of a thing

When I get tired of restin'

There's nothing to do but walk, walk it off pop

And when I don't care to listen

There's nothing to do but talk, keep your big mouth shut

When I'm up in the airplane

There's nothing to do but fly

Life is so peculiar

But I often wonder why

Oh, life, is so peculiar, sure is

A fork belongs with a knife, you know?

Corn beef is lost without cabbage, leftover cabbage? Yeah

A husband should have a wife

Yes, life is so peculiar

But as everybody says

That's life

One more for me Jim, that's life

Let me hear it one time, that's life

All together, that's life, yeah!
