Life can be mighty monotonous We're always battlin' boredom Where, tell me where has it gotten us? Everything's still so doggone hum-drum Stuck in a rut, gettin' nowhere fast Ooh, hum-drum blues Fightin' the future and mad with the past Aah, hum-drum blues Oh honey When you ain't got money Then you just can't do as you choose Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues Each day's just like the day before Ooh, hum-drum blues Work like a dog but I'm mighty poor Ooh, hum-drum blues Ooh, buddy, it'll run you naughty When you find yourself in our shoes Stumbling along with the hum-drum blues Don't know which way I'm goin' I don't know which way I comе from Rainin', or shining or snowin' Everything's still so doggone hum-drum Love mе honey, I wish you would Ooh, hum-drum blues Sure would do me a world o' good Ooh, hum-drum blues Oooh baby If you love me, maybe We could get together and lose Those mean old hum-blues Hum-drum blues Hum-drum blues Hum-drum blues Hum-drum blues
