Nobody
Composer(s): Alex Rogers; Bert Williams;
and various other artists



When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of nothin' and pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, uummm?
Nobody!

When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's twenty-five cents, go ahead and get somethin' to eat, go on why doncha"?
Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get somethin' from somebody sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time

When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I'd cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody!

One time when things was lookin' bright
I started to whittle on a stick one night
Who cried out, "Stop now, that's dynamite"?
Not a soul!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody, no time
So until I get something from somebody, sometime
I'll never do nothin' for nobody, no time

As performed by Jimmy Dean:



When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with nought but pain
Who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain........ Nobody!

When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "Here's two bits, go eat"........ Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And 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 I'm tryin' hard and schemin' a plan
To do the very best I can
Who says, "Look at that handsome man"........ Nobody!

Well all day long things go amiss
And I go home to find some bliss
Who's waitin' there with a lovin' kiss........ Nobody!

I ain't never done nothin' to nobody
And 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
