Oh, life is so peculiar, You get so wet in the rain, You get so warm in the sunshine, But it doesn't pay to complain! When I get up each mornin', There's nothin' to breathe but air! When I look in the mirroe, There's nothin' to comb but hair! When I sit down to breakfast, There's nothin' 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's only got water, You never know where you stand! When I get out to dinner, There's nothin' to wear but clothes! And whenever I get sleepy, There's nothin' to do but doze! Whenever I get thirsty, There's nothin' to do but drink! Life is so peculiar that it makes you stop and think! Oh, life is so peculiar A bird can usually sing Man, you can't be sure with thing When I get tired of resting There's nothing to do but work When I don't care to listen There's nothing to do but talk When I'm up in my aeroplane There's nothing to do but fly Life is so peculiar And I often wonder why Yes, life is so peculiar A fork belongs with the knife And you know what else? What? Corn beef is lost without cabbage Well, well, a husband should have a wife And you know that life is so peculiar But as everybody says that's life, that's life Well, what do you know? That's life
