Life Is So Peculiar

Life Is So Peculiar - Louis Jordan/Louis Armstrong/His Tympany Five

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 morning

There's nothing to breathe but air

And when I look in the mirror

There's nothing to comb but hair

And when I sit down to breakfast

There's nothing to eat but food

Life is so peculiar

But you can't stay home and brood

Oh life tell 'em about it pops is so peculiar

The desert's only got sand and that's grand

The oceans only got water

And you never know where you stand

When I get out to dinner

There's nothing to wear but clothes yeah

And whenever I get sleepy

There's nothing to do but doze yeah

And whenever I get thirsty

There's nothing to do but drink

Life is no peculiar

That it makes you stop and think

Yes life it's so peculiar

Life is so peculiar

A bird can usually sing

A pearl is made by an oyster

You can't be sure of a thing

When I get tired of restin'

There's nothing to do but walk

When I don't care to listen

There's nothing to do but talk

When I'm up in the airplane

There's nothing to do but fly

Life is so peculiar

But I often wonder why

Oh life is so peculiar

A fork belongs with a knife you know

Corn beef is lost without cabbage

A husband should have a wife

Yes life is so peculiar

But as everybody says

That's life

That's life

That's life

All together that's life yeah
