Monotonous

Everyone gets into a dull routine If they don't get a chance to change the scene I could not be wearier Life could not be drearier If I lived in Siberia I'll tell ya what I mean I met a rather amusing fool While on my way to Istanbul He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool Monotonous For thirty days, salt air I sniffed While I was shipwrecked and cast adrift With a man who looked like Montgomery Clift Monotonous For what it's worth, throughout the earth I'm known as femme fatale But when the yawn comes up like thunder, brother Take back your Taj Mahal Jack Fath made a new style for me I even made Johnny Ray smile for me A camel once walked a mile for me Monotonous, monotonous I could not be wearier Life could not be drearier If I lived in Siberia Traffic has been known to stop for me Prices even rise and drop for me Harry S.Truman plays bop for me Monotonous, monotone-eous T.S. Elliott writes books for me King Farouk's on tenterhooks for me Sherman Billingsley even cooks for me Monotonous, monotonous I could not be wearier Life could not be drearier If I lived in Siberia Though I know I've acres of dough I'm not sure of the amount It might be exciting some day if I learned to count Chian Kai-Shek sends me pots of tea Gaylord Hauser sends me vitamin D And, furthermore, Ike likes me Monotonous, monotonous Monotonous
