Monotonous

Everyone gets into a dull routine
 If they don't get a chance to change the scene
 I could not be wearier
 Life could not be drearier
 If I lived in Siberia
 I'll tell ya what I mean
 I met a rather amusing fool
 While on my way to Istanbul
 He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool
 Monotonous
 For thirty days, salt air I sniffed
 While I was shipwrecked and cast adrift
 With a man who looked like Montgomery Clift
 Monotonous
 For what it's worth, throughout the earth
 I'm known as femme fatale
 But when the yawn comes up like thunder, brother
 Take back your Taj Mahal
 Jack Fath made a new style for me
 I even made Johnny Ray smile for me
 A camel once walked a mile for me
 Monotonous, monotonous
 I could not be wearier
 Life could not be drearier
 If I lived in Siberia
 Traffic has been known to stop for me
 Prices even rise and drop for me
 Harry S.Truman plays bop for me
 Monotonous, monotone-eous
 T.S. Elliott writes books for me
 King Farouk's on tenterhooks for me
 Sherman Billingsley even cooks for me
 Monotonous, monotonous
 I could not be wearier
 Life could not be drearier
 If I lived in Siberia
 Though I know I've acres of dough
 I'm not sure of the amount
 It might be exciting some day if I learned to count
 Chian Kai-Shek sends me pots of tea
 Gaylord Hauser sends me vitamin D
 And, furthermore, Ike likes me
 Monotonous, monotonous
 Monotonous
