Lyrics

[Intro]
Everyone gets into a dull routine
If they don't get a chance to change the scene
[Verse 1]
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
I'll tell ya what I mean
[Verse 2]
I met a rather amusing fool
While on my way to Istanbul
He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool
Monotonous
[Verse 3]
For thirty days, salt air I sniffed
While I was shipwrecked and cast adrift
With a man who looked like Montgomery Clift
Monotonous
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
Jacques 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
[Verse 5]
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
T.S. Elliott writes books for me
King Farouk's on tenterhooks for me
Sherman Billingsley even cooks for me
Monotonous
Monotonous
[Verse 8]
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
[Bridge]
Although I know I've acres of dough
I'm not sure of the amount
It might be exciting someday if I learned to count
[Verse 9]
Chiang Kai-shek sends me pots of tea
Gayelord Hauser sends me vitamin D
And, furthermore, Ike likes me
Monotonous
Monotonous
Monotonous
