Summertime Blues or A Pall Mall

Summer’s here at last,
and I’m ready to go:

I want to go to the top of the Eifel Tower,
I want to see the great pyramid of Giza,
I want to climb Mount Everest,
I want to chase a kangaroo.

But what do I actually do?
I go to the mall.

I hang at the food-court.
I play games at the arcade.
I window shop.

I go to the mall and I go back home.
Every day …
Day after day …
It makes me want to run away!

How can it be? I’m finally free,
and what can I afford?
It’s a day at the mall or nothing at all.
I AM TOTALLY – TOTALLY BORED!
