Cardboard Boxes

Got up in the morning
To find myself a future
In the Sunday classfied
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 cozy
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
Cuz 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 cozy
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
Cuz 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
Cuz rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain’t cool
