| I used to have two animals at home, both of them at school. |
| And every summer, in the holidays, like wolves howling at |
| the moon, they would sing this sad refrain. |
| I'm bored! |
| I'm bored... |
| I'm feeling alone and ignored. |
| I can't call for Jamie, he's off to the sea. |
| I'm bad friends with Peter, and won't play with Lee. |
| And Martin's a cissie, and won't play with me! |
| I'm bored. |
| I'm bored. |
| I'm bored! |
| I'm bored... |
| My best friends have gone off abroad. |
| I hate staying in, and don't want to go out. |
| There's nothing to do except hanging about. |
| I think I'll just stay here, and glower and pout. |
| I'm bored... |
| So bored. |
| I'm bored! |
| Really bored! |
| I've muttered and mumbled. I've swored! |
| Can't even play cricket -- I've broken my bat. |
| I've read all my books and I've tortured the cat, |
| Till Mother came in and she made me stop that! |
| I'm bored. |
| Really bored. |
| I'm bored. |
| Stupendously bored! |
| I've ranted and raved and I've roared. |
| I fell in some nettles while climbing the trees; |
| Got bit by the dog when I started to tease. |
| Now I've got to stay in -- 'cos I've gone and got fleas! |
| I'm bored. |
| Sooooooooooo bored! |
