Ain't it peculiar now
   How our loves 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 sell
   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 peculiar 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
   Of all the little things that drive you insane
  
   You know that time after time
   A misfortune smiled,
   You know it's peculiar
   I can still laugh our 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
