That's what Mrs. Riordan said and she should know;
-4 5 -5 6 5 5
She lived upstairs from him
-5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 4 -3 4
She said he was a most peculiar man.

He was a most peculiar man.
-5 -4 -5 -5 -4 -3” 5 -4 -4
He lived all alone within a house,

Within a room, within himself,

A most peculiar man.
5 5 6 7 6 6 -5 5
He had no friends, he seldom spoke
-3” 5 -4 -4 -4 -3” -3” 5 -4 -4
And no one in turn ever spoke to him,

'Cause he wasn't friendly and he didn't care
-4 -4 -4 5 -5 6

With the windows closed so he'd never wake up

And Mrs. Riordan says he has a brother somewhere
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 6 6 -5 5
Who should be not-if-i-e-d soooon.
6 -6 6 6 -5 5 5 -4 6 -5 5 5
And all the people said, "What a shame that he's dead,
5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 -3 4
But wasn't he a most peculiar man?"
