He was a most peculiar man
That´s what Mrs. Reardon said
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 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. 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?â€
