Cardboard Boxes Songtext
von Rebekah

Got up in the morning to find myself a future
In the Sunday classified
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 the day
And oh so many little things get in the way
Like who's on Oprah and Rosie
I think my bed is too cozy
Yeah, that must be the reason I can′t motivate

Do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get a life
And do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get it soon
'Cause rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain't cool


I get up Monday, make an afternoon appointment
Fix my hair as best I can
Then I run 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
We are always either under or over qualified
So who's on Oprah and Rosie
I′ll go back to bed where it's cozy
Yeah, that′s my plan, maybe next week, try again

Do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get a life
And do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get it soon
'Cause rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain′t cool
Alright now

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
And do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get it soon
And do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get a life
And do, do-do-do, do, do
Gotta get it soon
′Cause rent is due
And cardboard boxes ain′t cool
