Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Bummerland, here I am

Better nix my summer plans

Bummerland, give a cheer

'Cause you're only going up from here

...

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

It's my all time low

And I just can't wait

'Cause the quicker I'm there

Is the quicker I'll say

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

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

It's my all time low

And I just can't wait

'Cause the quicker I'm there

Is the quicker I'll say

Bummerland, here I am

Better nix my summer plans

Bummerland, sorry dear

But you're only going up from here

Daa da-da da

Daa da-da da ('cause you're only going up from here)

Daa da-da da

It's my all time low

And I just can't wait

'Cause the quicker I'm there

Is the quicker I'll say

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

...
