Lyrics

Life can be mighty monotonous
We're always battling boredom
Tell me, where has it gotten us?
Everything's still so doggone humdrum
Stuck in a rut, getting nowhere fast
Oh, humdrum blues
Fighting the future and mad with the past
Oh, humdrum blues
Oh, honey, when you ain't got money
Then you just can't do as you choose
You gotta live with the humdrum blues
Each day is just like the day before
Oh, humdrum blues
Work like a dog but I'm mighty poor
Oh, humdrum blues
Oh, buddy, it'll run you nutty
When you find yourself in my shoes
Stumbling with the humdrum blues
Don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I come from
Raining or shining or snowing
Everything's still so doggone humdrum
Love me, honey, I wish that you would
Oh, humdrum blues
Sure would do me the world of good
Oh, humdrum blues
Oh, baby, if you love me
Maybe we can get together and lose
Those mean old lowdown humdrum blues
Those mean old lowdown humdrum blues
Those mean old lowdown humdrum blues
Lose those mean old lowdown humdrum blues
