Live Is So Peculiar (08-23-50) - Louis Jordan

Oh 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

When I look in the mirror

There’s nothing to comb but hair

When I sit down to breakfast

Nothing to eat but food

Life is so peculiar but you can’t stay home and brood

Yes, life is so peculiar, a fork belongs with the knife

Corn beef is lost without cabbage

A husband should have a wife

Life is so peculiar

But is everybody’s pair

That’s life (that's life)

(Oh life is so peculiar, the beach has only got sand)

The oceans only got water

You never know where you stand

When I get out to dinner

There’s nothing to wear but clothes

Whenever I get sleepy

There’s nothing to do but doze

Whenever I get thirsty

There’s nothing to do but drink

Life is no peculiar that it makes it to the top of the sink

(Life is so peculiar) it’s so peculiar

A fork belongs with the knife

(The fork belongs with the knife)

Corn beef is lost without cabbage

A husband should have a wife

Life is so peculiar

That’s what everybody says

(That's right) That’s right
