Life Is So Peculiar Louis Jordan (Ft. Louis Armstrong)

[Verse 1]
Mm, life is so peculiar
You get so wet in the rain (You know it, too? Mhmm)
You get so warm in the sunshine (Gettin' my suntan)
It doesn't pay to complain (I never complain)
When I get up each morning
There's nothing to breathe but air (Yeah)
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, life (Tell 'em 'bout it, Pops)
Is so peculiar
The desert's only got sand (And that's grand)
The oceans only got water (And you can't drink it all up)
You never know where you stand
When I go 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 so peculiar that it makes you stop and think

[Chorus]
Yes, life
Is so peculiar (Sure is)
Corn beef is lost without cabbage (I love
Cabbage)
A husband should have a wife
Yes, life is so peculiar, but as everybody says, that's life
