RUNNING IN PLACE

Ba bah da bah da bah da bah
Ba bah da bah da bah da bah
Ba bah da bah da bah da bah

At the end of the day I'm just running in place
And it really doesn't matter anyway
You know I'm not going anywhere

You could come back in a thousand years
Long after this day is done
I'd still be running in place right here

Ba bah da bah da bah da bah
Ba bah da bah da bah da bah
Ba bah da bah da bah da bah

You're getting like zero miles to the gallon, dude
We gotta seriously open up the hood and see what's going on under there, man
See what's giving you a bad car day

The abbreviation for running in place
Is the same as rest in peace
Which means you're not going anywhere

You could come back in a million years
Long after this day is done
I'd still be running in place right here

James, kindly bring around the Bentley
I'm sorry sir, the Bentley is currently indisposed
Indisposed? How could the Bentley possible be indisposed?
It's a matter of some impropriety I'm afraid
Good Heavens!

Corriendo
Corriendo en lugar
Corriendo en lugar

Ba bah da bah da bah da bah
Ba bah da - badda badda bing
Ba bah da - badda badda bling - ha ha!

Welcome to Purgatory!
Have a seat!
Make yourself comfortable!
You're gonna be here a long, long time!
Enjoy!
