A Most Peculiar Man

[Verse 1]

He was a most peculiar man

That's what Mrs. Riordan says

And she should know

She lived upstairs from him

She said he was a most peculiar man

[Verse 2]

He was a most peculiar man

He lived all alone

Within a house

Within a room

Within himself

A most peculiar man

[Verse 3]

He had no friends

He seldom spoke

And no one in turn ever spoke to him

'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care

And he wasn't like them

Oh no, he was a most peculiar man

[Verse 4]

He died last Saturday

He turned on the gas

And he went to sleep

With the windows closed

So he'd never wake up

To his silent world

And his tiny room

And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere

Who should be notified soon

[Outro]

And all the people said

"What a shame that he's dead

But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"
