Exercise 3: Listen to the following song and fill in the blanks with the sentences in present continuous 

here in a boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

my time I got nothing to do

around  for you

But nothing ever happens

And I wonder

,

 I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely,

But nothing ever happens

And I wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the

Blue, blue sky

And all that I can see

Is just a yellow lemon tree

up and down

, turning, turning, turning

Turning

And all that I can see

Is just another lemon tree

Sing dah

Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah

Dah-dah-dah-dam, dee-dab-dah

Dab-deedly dah

 

,  I miss the power

I'd like to go out, r But there's a heavy cloud inside my  head

I feel so tired, put myself into bed

Well, nothing ever happens

And I wonder

Isolation is not good for me

Isolation, I don't want to

Sit on a lemon tree

around in a desert of joy

Maybe anyhow I'll get another toy

And everything will happen

And you wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the

Blue, blue sky

And all that I can see

Is just another yellow lemon tree

my head up and down

I'm turning, turning, turning, turning

Turning around

And all that I can see

Is just a yellow lemon tree

And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the

Blue, blue sky

And all that I can see

And all that I can see

And all that I can see

Is just a yellow lemon tree
