Today is very boring, It s a very boring day There is nothing much to look at, There is nothing much to say, There s a peacock on my sneakers, There s a penguin on my head, There s a dormouse on my doorstep, I am going back to bed. Today is very boring, It is boring through and through, There is absolutely nothing That I think I want to do, I see giants riding rhinos, And an ogre with a sword, There s a dragon blowing smoke rings, I am positively bored. Today is very boring, I can hardly help but yawn, There s a flying saucer landing
In the middle of my lawn, A volcano just erupted Less than half a mile away, And I think I felt an earthquake, It s a very boring day.
