---------------.........................
*from 'Gorilla' (1967)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: )
Intro:
, ,
Verse 1:
At the local dance, whilst posing by the door,
A lady begged; "Would I come on the floor?"
A-bove the band, my voice was heard,
Quite suddenly, it had occured, to me...I'm bored!
Chorus 1:
I'm bored, with everything I touch and see,
I'm bored, with expo-ses of LSD.
I'm bored with Frank Sinatra's new LP,
(n.)
And so I roar...(shoo-be-do-be-do); I'm bored.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Drinking different coloured wines or beers,
(Chug--lug-chug--lug),
Just quite frankly leaves me bored to,
(n.)
Tears for souvenirs...
And quite apart from what one hears,
I've been like this for years and years, you see?...en-nui.
Chorus 2:
I'm bored, with Mother Nature or her son,
I'm bored, with every-thing that should be done.
And so, I just poke out my big red tongue and...
(n.)
(*Raspberry*)...I'm bored.
Bridge 1:
I'm tired of art! (Drawing bored),
Sex is a drag! (In a boreding house, I daresay).
Awk! Australians bore me!
(You mean the A-bore-iginals, don't you?)
(n.)
I'm bored to death! (Like mortar bored!)
Break:
(n.)
I am bored, I am bored...
(Repeat many times, in a Round)
(n.)
This is boredom you can afford from Cyril Bored.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
I hate each Julie Andrews film they've made,
I'm just a nasty, narrow-minded jade.
Don't think that I will smile at it;
(n.)
I'm not a weak-willed hypocrite, I'll say... I'm bored!
Chorus 3:
I'm bored, with with-it men in spotty ties,
Who hum, (Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm),
Tiresome tunes like Eidelweiss.
(n.)
I'm bored, and when I hear it in a trice, I shout;
I'm bored!
Coda:
The only thing that ever interests me...
Is ME! (Me! Me! Me! Me!)...
(Repeat 'me's' to Fade)
