When life seems full of clouds an` rain
and I am filled with naught but pain,
who soothes my thumpin` bumpin` brain ?
Nobody . . .
When winter comes with snow an` sleet,
and me with hunger and cold feet,
who says Ah, here`s two bits, go an` eat!
Nobody . . .
I ain`t never done nothin` to nobody,
I ain`t never got nothin` from nobody, no time!
And `till I get somethin` from somebody, sometime,
I don`t intend to do nothin` for nobody, no time!
When I try hard an` scheme an` plan,
to look as good as good as I can,
who says Ah, look at that handsome man!
Nobody . . .
When all day long things go amiss,
and I go home to find some bliss,
who hands to me a glowin` kiss?
Nobody . . .
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!
Nobody, no time!
