Lyrics for I'm Bored

At the local dance whilst passing by the door A large yid begged, would I come on the floor Above the band, my voice was heard Quite suddenly it had occurred to me I'm bored, I'm bored With everything I touch and see I'm bored with expos茅s of LSD I'm bored with Frank Sinatra's new LP And so I roar "I'm bored!" Drinking different coloured wines or beers Just quite frankly leaves me bored to tears And quite apart from what one hears I've been like this for years and years you see Ennui, I'm bored (I'm bored, I'm bored) With Mother Nature or her Son I'm bored (I'm bored, I'm bored) With everything that should be done And so (I'm bored, I'm bored) I just poke out my big red tongue and I'm bored (I'm tired of art) Drawing bored (Sex is a drag) In a bawdy house, I daresay (Ha, I beg you to bore me) You mean the abhorreginals damn troll (I'm bored to death) Like mortar bored (I am bored, I am bored) (I am bored, I am bored) (I am bored, I am bored) (This is boredom you can afford by Cyril Bored) I hate each Julie Andrews film they've made I'm just a nasty narrow-minded jade Don't think that I will smile at it I'm not a weak-willed hypocrite, I'll say I'm bored, I'm bored (I'm bored, I'm bored) With withered men in spotted ties Who hum "Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm" to some tune like Edelweiss I'm bored (I'm bored, I'm bored) And when I hear it in a trice I shout "I'm bored" The only thing that ever interests me is me
