lyrics

Ho-hum, ho-hum, and oh well

Now got don't get me wrong
life is great and everything
but there are just those days

When you get stuck in a rut
and everything feels the same
you do it over and over

Whatever it is
it's the feeling that ya get
when you're walkin’ through a cold rain

And you say ho-hum, ho-hum, and oh well

Since when did everyone
trade in their native tongue
for this demotic monotone

This week is getting kinda dull
Yeah, it's fading into gray
I need this pace to change

I just wanna sleep, wanna sleep this day away, wake me up when it's over
I just wanna sleep, wanna sleep this day away, wake me up when it's over

Ho-hum, ho-hum, and oh well…
