Lyrics

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)
