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.)
