Eartha Kitt - Monotonous Lyrics
Everyone gets into a dull routine
If they don't get a chance to change the scene
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
I met a rather amusing fool
While on my way to Istanbul
He bought me the Black Sea for my swimming pool
Monotonous
For thirty days, salt air I sniffed
While I was shipwrecked and cast adrift
With a man who looked like Montgomery Clift
Monotonous
I'm known as femme fatale
But when the yawn comes up like thunder, brother
Take back your Taj Mahal
Jack Fath made a new style for me
I even made Johnny Ray smile for me
A camel once walked a mile for me
Monotonous, monotonous
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Traffic has been known to stop for me
Prices even rise and drop for me
Harry S.Truman plays bop for me
Monotonous, monotone-eous
T.S. Elliot writes books for me
King Farouk's on tenterhooks for me
Sherman Billingsley even cooks for me
Monotonous, monotonous
I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in Siberia
Though I know I've acres of dough
I'm not sure of the amount
It might be exciting some day if I learned to count
Chiang Kai-shek sends me pots of tea
Gaylord Hauser sends me vitamin D
And, furthermore, Ike likes me
Monotonous, monotonous
Monotonous

Eartha Kitt Monotonous Comments
new faces
Monotonous means dull and boring..??? Was she ???? I don’t get it
Which description is it
First or second Online ?? Both means something neg.
I know I'm a month late and you might have already figured it out, but she was calling the things she was describing monotonous not herself. I hope this helps!
Legend 👑
😍 Feeling me with High Spirit
Amazing women 😍
VALENTINA YOUR SMILE IS BEAUTIFUL
She was the highlight of this classic fim!
Ignorant men who are nothing but walking paychecks are BORING!
Here's the bit that had her censored (Ike Like's Me)
Chian Kai-Shek sends me pots of tea
Gaylord Hauser sends me vitamin D
And, furthermore, Ike likes me
Monotonous, monotonous
Monotonous
she was fired UP. Men who were nothing more than walking paychecks were and are still boring as hell.
Nonpareil! God made one Eartha. and June Carroll and Arthur Siegel ought to take a bow—she for that riotous lyric and he for the tune and perhaps a contribution to the words.
Mesmerisingly. Awesome !
Madonna ?
Who’s she ?
"A camel once walked a mile for me....." LOL.
She will always be my FAVORITE!!!!!
Who the HELL captioned this???? This is terrible! Most of the words are WRONG it kinda pissed me off
It's auto generated. It was written by an algorithm
I didn't see any captions.
Eartha Kitt. 5`4" of WOOF ! ! !
I thought she was 5'2?
You mean 'meow'? (Silly Catwoman reference)
She's good at what she did but I always found her voice annoying.
precision Brown your comment is annoying...
Sounds like Edith Piath, at the start.
I heard her talk about how much she loved Edith Piaf.
Saint Allen Austin where did you hear her say she was a fan of her?
Love it.
i keep saying this but it has to be done.. this might be the most incredible performance known to man..
The closed captioning on this is incredibly wrong.
Because she's singing in ENGLISH! LOL
Lol I think it wants to ruin her song.
@stickstr8up me, too! Was it too offensive in some way or was she playing in a venue where people wouldn't understand this line or maybe she came up with it later or often sang slightly different versions? DUNNO! Still wondering, does anyone else have an answer?
eartha looks great. faces can be purchased on amazon.com.
@Animalkisser I was thinking the same thing. the outfit said it all.
YES, NEW FACES OF 1952, VHS EXISTS
I now know where Madonna got her ideas... She should, at least, give some credit to Eartha.
uh, no. Prince and the Revolution. We were listening to Kitt Essentials from the WOMB!
I was in the middle of HMS Pinafore (1984 Wichita version) teasing him before he left us.
My mother looked just liker her.
