A Most Peculiar Man lyrics

He was A Most Peculiar Man.
That`s what Mrs. Riordan said and she should know;
She lived upstairs from him
She said he was A Most Peculiar Man.

He was A Most Peculiar Man.
The lived all alone within a house,
Within a room, within himself,
A Most Peculiar Man.

He 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 Man.

He 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 room;
And Mrs. Riordan 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?`
