Hum drum days

And a hum drum ways

Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom

We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom

It was no infatuation

But a gradual graduation

From a boy to a man

Let me tell you while I can

The soda pop came free

Hey Sis, one kiss, and I was heaven bound

Now who would have guessed Milton's paradise lost could be found

But in the eyes of the Dean, his daughter

Was doin' what she shouldn'a oughta

But a man's gotta do

What a man's gotta do

The consequence should be

Church bells, three swells

The Dean, his daughter and me

They were dating in the park

They were smooching in the dark

Of a doorway for two

She whispered "I love you -

Ooh, you know I never felt this way before

Ooh, you know the elevator in my heart

Has gone awol, awol, awol, awol"

And then I kissed her

And when I kissed her

It's a wonderful world

When you're rolling in kisses

Now, the paint is peeling

(Hum drum days and hum drum ways)

Now, and when the chips are down

(Hum drum days and hum drum ways)

Now, you kinda lose all feeling

(Hum drum days and hum drum ways)

Now, your head goes round and round

(Hum drum days and hum drum ways)

Round and round and round and round and round

I'm throwing myself off this train

Hum drum days

And a hum drum ways

Hum drum days, he's got

Hum drum ways, oh boy

Hey, you know I'm really earning now

My ship came in with a cargo of dollars

My name's lit up on the prow

It's a wonderful world

When you're rolling in dollars

Now!
