bored
I'm as bored as a board that is black
I'm as bored as a board in a shack
I'm as bored as a board on the deck of a ship
and bored as a board in a stack

I'm as bored as a board in the floor
I'm as bored as a board in the door
I'm as bored as board in a boarding house
and as bored as a board on the shore

I'm as bored as a board that is over
I'm as bored as a board in Andover
I'm as bored as a board that's sawn into bits
or nailed to the white cliffs of Dover
