He was a m[D]ost peculiar man.[Em]
That's what Missus Riordon said, and she should know;[A7]
She lived upsta[D]irs from him.[G]
She said he was a m[A7]ost peculiar m[D]an.
He was a m[D]ost peculiar man.[Em]
He lived all alone within a house, within a roo[A7]m, within himself.
A most peculiar m[D]an.
He had no fr[D]iends, he seldom spoke,
And [Em]no one in turn ever spoke to him,
'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care,[A7]
And he wasn't like t[D]hem.
Oh, n[G]o! He was a m[A7]ost peculiar m[D]an.
He died last S[D]aturday,
He tu[Em]rned 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 Missus Riordon says he has a brother somewh[A7]ere
Who should be notified s[D]oon.
And a[G]ll the people sa[A7]id, "What a sh[D]ame that he's d[Bm]ead,
But w[G]asn't he a m[A7]ost peculiar m[D]an?"
