Oh life is so peculiar, you get so wet in the rain, You get so warm in the sunshine, it doesn't pay to complain, 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, nothing to eat but food, Life is so peculiar but you can't stay home and brood. Yes, life is so peculiar, a fork belongs with a knife, Corn beef is lost without cabbage, a husband should have a wife, Life is so peculiar, but as everybody says: That's life (that's life) (Oh life is so peculiar, the desert's only got sand,) The ocean's only got water, you never know where you stand. When I get 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, (Life is so peculiar,) it's so peculiar, A fork belongs with a knife (the 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. (That's right.)
