When life seems full of clouds and rain,

And I'm full of nothin' but pain,

Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?

Nobody.

When wintertime comes with its snow and sleet,

And me with hunger and cold feet,

Who says, "Here's two bits. Go and eat."?

Nobody.

Oh, well, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody.

I ain't never got nothin' from nobody no time.

And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime, I don't

Intend to do nothin' for nobody no time.

When summertime comes all warm and clear,

And my friends see me drawin' near,

Who says, "Come on in and have a beer?"

Nobody.

Well, one time when things was lookin' bright,

I started to whittlin' on a stick one night.

Who said, "Hey, that's dynamite!"?

Nobody.

Hmm, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody.

I ain't never got nothin' from nobody no time.

And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime, I don't

Intend to do nothin' for nobody no time.

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody.

I ain't never got nothin' from nobody no time.

And until I get somethin' from somebody sometime, I don't

Intend to do nothin' for nobody no time.
