1,2,3,4 INTRO
I hear the Commissioner calling me!
Boredom. Boredom. Boredom. Boredom.
I'm sick to death of songs like this
With words like this
And beats like this.
I'm sick. Sick! Sick! Sick!
I'm sick and tired of people who
Get cheap on you;
They creep on you.
They're sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Your head is down. You walk around
Just like your pants
Are falling down.
It's sick. Sick! Sick! Sick!
You're out of sight. You get uptight.
Your left is right
Before your right.
It's schtick. Schtick! Schtick! Schtick!
What else can I do
(But) do the bored walk? (Stomp. Stomp.)
Do the bored walk. (Tramp. Tramp.)
Do the bored walk. (Yawn)
Make your feelings known....
Make your feelings known.
I see you yawn that life goes on.
You're just a pawn
Before the dawn.
You're sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Your eyes they close. Outside it snows.
You lose your clothes,
But nothing shows:
You're slick! Slick! Slick! Slick!
What else can I do
(But) do the bored walk? (Stomp. Stomp.)
Do the bored walk. (Tramp. Tramp.)
Do the bored walk. (Yawn)
Make your feelings known....
Make your feelings known.
I hear the Commissioner calling me!
Boredom. Boredom. Boredom. Boredom.
What else can I do
(But) do the bored walk? (Stomp. Stomp.)
Do the bored walk. (Tramp. Tramp.)
Do the bored walk. (Yawn)
Make your feelings known....
Make your feelings known.
((Simultaneous "Do the bored walk."; "I hear the commissioner calling me, calling me, calling me"; and "I'm sick, sick. Sick, sick, sick" as stomping sounds and monotonous whistling continue. Every now and then, "Boredom" is said. A bass plays its lowest note 1x/5sec. A bass guitar plays slowly and at random. A baroque organ plays in time with the bass--deep notes. All fades. Maybe a cello.))
