He was A Most Peculiar Man. |
|
That's what Mrs. Riordan said and she should know; |
|
She lived upstairs from him |
|
She said he was A Most Peculiar Man. |
|
He was A Most Peculiar Man. |
|
The lived all alone within a house, |
|
Within a room, within himself, |
|
A Most Peculiar Man. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
And all the people said, 'What a shame that he's dead, |
|
But wasn't he A Most Peculiar Man |
