Ain't It Peculiar

Ain't it peculiar, darlin'?

How our love goes on and on

Ain't it peculiar, honey?

We take the bad with the wrongYou know that time after time

A misfortune smiled

Ain't it peculiar, woman?

You know we'll laugh our way throughWhen will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?You know I'm ready to say that?

Lord, you're the talk of the town

The next minute, you're busted

Just listenin' to that jail-house soundYou know that time after time

A misfortune smiled

Ain't it peculiar, woman?

How we'll just laugh our way throughWhen will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?You know, double-talk is poison

But that's the rule of the game

Instead of backstabbing, they practice

All the little things that drive you insaneYou know that time after time

A misfortune smiled

Know, it's so peculiar

I can still laugh my way through itWhen will this long night of a prison ever end?

When will this long night of a prison ever end?Ain't it peculiar? Ain't it peculiar?

Ain't it peculiar? Ain't it peculiar?

Ain't it peculiar? Ain't it peculiar?
