Ain't it peculiar, darlin'
How our love goes on and on
Ain't it peculiar, honey
We take the right with the wrong

You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
Ain't it peculiar, woman
You know we'll laugh our way through

When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?

You know I'm ready to sail her
Lord, you're the talk of the town
The next minute, you're busted
Just listenin' to that jailhouse sound

You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
Ain't it pecular, woman
How we'll just laugh our way through:

When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?
You know double-talk is poison
But that's the rule of the game;
Instead of back-stabbing, they practice
All the little things that drive you insane

You know that time after time
A misfortune smiled
You know, it's so peculiar
I can still laugh my way through it

When will this long night of a prison ever end?
When will this long night of a prison ever end?

Ain't it peculiar (6 x's, fade out)
