That's what Mrs Reardon says
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
O no-o-o
He was a most peculiar man
He died last Sat-ur-day
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 Reardon says he has a brother somewhere
Who should be notified so-oo-oon
And all the people said
What a shame that he's dead
But wasn't he a most peculiar man
