HUM-DRUM BLUES
Oscar Brown Jr

as rec by Marion Montgomery w orch cond by Dave Cavanaugh
August 1963 Hollywood

also rec by Abbey Lincoln '59

life can be mighty monotonous,
We're always battlin' boredom;
Where, tell me where has it gotten us?
Everything's still so doggone hum-drum!

Stuck in a rut, gettin' nowhere fast!
Mmmm-mmm, I got the hum-drum blues!
Fightin' the future and mad at the past!
Mmmm-mmm, I got the hum-drum blues!

Ooh honey,
When you ain't got money,
Then you just can't do as you choose;
Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues!

Don't know which way I'm goin',
I don't know which way I come from?
Rainin', a shine or a-snowin',
Everything's so doggone hum-drum!

Love me honey, I wish you would!
Uh-huh, I got the hum-drum blues!
Sure would do me a world o' good,
'Cause I've got the blues!

Oooh baby,
If you love me, maybe
we could get together and lose
These mean old, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, a-humdrum blues!
A-ha-ha-ha-ha, I got the hum-drum blues,
Hum-drum blues!
