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
