Ho-Hum, Humdrum Life


words and music by Rick Paul

Thinking With My Heart cover art Ho-hum, Humdrum Life cover art
From the album Thinking With My Heart
and the single Ho-hum, Humdrum Life


I get up at the same time every day
Kiss the same two lips, hit the shower
Pour a cup of coffee, black
Pack an apple for a snack
Drag to work at thirty miles an hour

From the outside lookin’ in, it’s pretty boring
Just a normal, average, ordinary story

That’s my ho-hum, humdrum, yada yada, blah blah
Yawn fest, depressed, zip, zero, zilch, nada
Same old, same old repetition
Each and every day
It’s a ho-hum, humdrum life
And I wouldn’t want it any other way

Like a rerun of the worst show in the world
I get off at the same time every day
Wave goodbye to all my friends
As they hit the gym again
I head home doin’ ninety all the way

Like some secret undercover spy
I just unlock the door and slip inside

To my ho-hum, humdrum, yada yada, blah blah
Yawn fest, depressed, zip, zero, zilch, nada
Same old, same old repetition
Each and every day
It’s a ho-hum, humdrum life
And I wouldn’t want it any other way

I know it’s hard to tell with the curtains closed
But we’re just sittin’ ’round, far as you know

In a ho-hum, humdrum, yada yada, blah blah
Yawn fest, depressed, zip, zero, zilch, nada

Ho-hum, humdrum, yada yada, blah blah
Yawn fest, depressed, zip, zero, zilch, nada
Same old, same old repetition
Each and every day
It’s a ho-hum, humdrum life
And I wouldn’t want it any other way
No, I wouldn’t want it any other way
No, I wouldn’t want it any other way
