"Ain't It Peculiar"

Ain't it peculiar, darlin',
How our love goes on and on.
Ain't it peculiar, honey,
We take the bad 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 say that (?)
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)
