Bummerland Lyrics
[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
[Verse 1]
This month
I got seven haircuts
And now my hair is all gone
It's sad, but
I've been alone for too long
So I keep getting haircuts
[Pre-Chorus]
It's my all-time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say
[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Sorry, dear
But you're only going up from here
[Verse 2]
My friends always pay for my drinks
I can't afford no nice things
But I hope my bank account gets so low
Even zero
So next year
When I buy that first beer
I'll be a goddamn hero
[Pre-Chorus]
It's my all-time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say
[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Sorry, dear
But you're only going up from here
[Bridge]
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da ('Cause you're only going up from here)
Da-da-da-da
[Pre-Chorus]
It's my all-time low
And I just can't wait
'Cause the quicker I'm there
Is the quicker I'll say
[Chorus]
Bummerland
Here I am
Better nix my summer plans
Bummerland
Give a cheer
'Cause you're only going up from here
Bummerland
Here I am
And there ain't no funner land
Bummerland
It's kinda weird
But you're only going up from here
