Lyrics by Jonas Lundberg

​

On your mark
get born, get ready
Young man Ho-hum
we´ll see you when you´re done

You´re born to run
so the boss is saying
but Ho-hum´s trusting 
in the amazing grace

​

So he says so long
to being fast and strong
Dedumdedumdedong
He´s singing on the Dodo-birdie song

​

What´s the point
of these constant worries
when your tribute
is a nickel and a dime

​

So he says so long...

​

And maybe there won´t be no credits
in the movie of his life
One or two sitting in the pew
saying sorry to his wife
And the memory left down here, 
it may wither, it may die
But the Ho-hum epitaph
it is surely not a lie

​

You can hear from  
a distant fading
Mr Ho-hum, 
humming on his tune

​

So he says so long...

​

And so he says so long
to being fast and strong
Dodedumdedumdedong
He´s singing on the Dodo-birdie song
The Dodo-birdie song
Dedumdedumdedong….
