He was a most peculiar man That's what the neighbors say 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 Most peculiar man He had no friends, he seldom spoke No one in turn ever spoke to him Because 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 went to sleep With the windows closed, so he'd never wake up To his silent world and his tiny room Neighbors 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? Most peculiar man.
