A Most Peculiar Man

A Most Peculiar Man

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 died
