it was a hot afternoon in da bronx
in da distance heah cars an' buses honks
sittin' outside, 'cause dere's nuttin' t' do
da temp's gotta be one hunnerd an' two
me an' stevie wuz bored outta our gourds
dere ain' nuttin' funny 'bout bein' bored
wanted t' play games noise made momma mad
momma's gotta migraine she's feelin' bad
nuttin' on t.v. nuttin' but da war
momma say, "shut dat off, git out da doo'"
wuz too hot to enjoy ridin' our bikes
dere wuz no movies dat we t'ought we'd like
my brudder broke my skateboard could not skate
da mets an' yanks outta town--ain't dat great
so here's we sittin' in da heat outside
wishin' dis boredom in us would subside
and dis is what we say t' each udder:

whatcherdoin'
nuttin'
whatcherdoin'
da same t'ing yas is
what's dat
nuttin'
why not
'cause dere's nuttin' t' do
why not
i dunno
whaddayermean
dere's nuttin' t' do
we done our chores
we even done our homewoik
tried t' play games
momma tol' us t' quit
'cause we gettin' on her LAS' nerve
nuttin' on da t.v.
but ole reruns we seen a million times
an' dose stupid pay commoicials
no movies woit' watchin'
start watchin' da war
but momma chase us out
she don' wanna see dat no mo'
can't ride our bikes
'cause it's too dang hot
can't skateboard
'cause my stupid brudder broke my skateboard
an' da mets an' da yankees outta town
man i'm bored
dere ain' nuttin' t' do
i's bored
me, too

don' fin' somet'in t' do...i's gon' smot'er!!
