LIFE IS SO PECULIAR

 

When I get up each morning there’s nothing to breathe but air
When I look in the mirror there’s nothing to comb but hair
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

Yes, life is so peculiar,

The desert’s only got sand

The oceans only got water
You never know where you stand

 

When I go out to dinner there’s nothing to wear but clothes
Whenever I get sleepy there’s nothing to do but doze
Whenever I get thirsty there’s nothing to do but drink
Life is no peculiar that it makes you stop and think

 

That’s life

a fork belongs with the knife
Corn beef is lost without cabbage
A husband should have a wife
Life is so peculiar but as everybody says,
“That’s life”

 

Piano solo

 

Oh, life is so peculiar

A bird can usually sing

A pearl is made by an oyster

You can’t be sure of a thing

 

 

When I get tired of resting there’s nothing to do but walk

When I don’t care to listen there’s nothing to do but talk

When I’m up in my airplane there’s nothing to do but fly

Life is so peculiar and I often wonder why

 

 

That’s life! – is so peculiar
a fork belongs with the knife
Corn beef is lost without cabbage
A husband should have a wife
Life is so peculiar but as everybody says,
“That’s life”
