lyrics

Boredom Blues

My papa wants a yacht, my momma wants a jag
But I’m in slow motion and my life’s a drag
My sister rides a pony
My best friend is gone
I stay out all night and I sleep all day long
My boyfriend wants a lover
He’s down on a bended knee
It’s hard to make things happen with a girl like me
My papa wants a yacht, my momma wants a jag
But I’m in slow motion and my life’s a drag
My girlfriend is a midwife
My roommate’s a slob
I’ve got good intentions, but I can’t hold a job
My cat wanders lonely
My patience is wearing thin
I wish I had some money, I’d do that sucker in
My papa wants a yacht, my momma wants a jag
But I’m in slow motion and my life’s a drag
