A Most Peculiar Man

"He was a most peculiar man"

That's what Mrs.Reardon says and she should know

She lived upstairs from him

She said, "He was a most peculiar man"He was a most peculiar man

He lived all alone within a house

Within a room, within himself

A most peculiar manHe 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 manHe 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 roomAnd Mrs, Reardon 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?"
