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!
