(P. Simon)
|
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.
|
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. 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?"
