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.
