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 mornin'
There's nothin' to breathe but aor!
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
A fork belongs with a knife;
Corned beef is lost without cabbage
A husband should have a wife
Life is peculiar
But as everybody says
"That's life!". (that's life!)

Oh, 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!
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!

Yes, life is so peculiar
It's so peculiar
A fork belongs with a knife; (a fork belongs with a knife)
Corned beef is lost without cabbage
A husband should have a wife
Kife is so peculiar
But as everbody says
"That's life!"
That's right!
