Ennui Go
What on Earth to do today ?
Bake a cake or fill a pew ?
The night is sweet, but far away –
We ought to sleep, we ought to play.
We’ve been to ev’ry cabaret –
That’s why we’re feeling blue.
If things don’t change, I swear,
Then I’ll snarl and scream and sob.
I’m lost and going spare,
And all my corn is off the cob.
It’s more than anyone can bear,
My head is in a throb.
What on Earth to do today ?
To read a book or tour the zoo ?
The Sun is out, the prospect grey –
We ought to go, we ought to stay.
We’ve done it all, and never pay –
There must be something new.
If things don’t change, I swear,
If we don’t quit the usual mob,
Then I’ll start a love affair
With a Cleetus or Jim-Bob
Anything, I just don’t care –
I’ll even get a job !
