Got up in the morning

To find myself a future

In the Sunday classifieds

But then I spilled my coffee

And then the telephone was ringing

Guess I got distracted

But hey at least I tried

And there's just oh so many hours in a day

And oh so many little things get in the way

Like who's on Oprah and Rosie

I think my bed it too 'causey

Yeah that must be it

The reason I can't motivate



Do-do-do-do-do-do

Gotta get a life

Do-do-do-do-do-do

Gotta get it soon

'Cause rent is due

And cardboard boxes ain't cool



Get up Monday make an afternoon appointment

Fix my hair as best I can

And then I ride on over but

By the time I get there

"The job's been filled dear

But thanks again"

And there's just oh so many reasons they can find

You're always either under or over-qualified

So who's on Oprah and Rosie

I'll go back to be where it's 'causey

Yeah that's my plan

Maybe next week try again



Do-do-do-do-do-do

Gotta get a life

Do-do-do-do-do-do

Gotta get it soon

'Cause rent is due

And cardboard boxes ain't cool



Hours pass and the days go by

And I still haven't done a thing

And I'm not proud of my laziness

But life can be discouraging



Do-do-do-do-do-do

Gotta get a life

Do-do-do-do-do-do

Gotta get it soon

'Cause rent is due

And cardboard boxes ain't cool
