When skies seem full
Of clouds and rain
And I'm all filled
With naught but pain
Then who soothes my thumping
And my bumping brain?
Nobody
And when winter comes
With the snow and the sleet
And here I am all hungry
And I got cold feet
Who says, "Why, come on in here, buddy boy
Plant yourself
We fixing to eat"?
Nobody
Now I ain't never done nothing
I ain't done nothing to nobody
Far as I know
And I know I ain't never got nothing
From nobody
At no time
So uh, till I get something
From somebody
At some time
Then uh, I ain't gonna do nothing
To nobody
At no time
Now when summer comes
All cool and clear
And my friends
Well, they sorta see me
Edging near
Who says, "Why, come on in here, buddy boy
Into the parlor
We fixing to uncap the beer"?
Nobody
You know I had myself a fine steak
Been some time ago
I took that little sauce bottle
And I shook it on there vigorously
But oh
Who said, "You better look out what you're doing, son
You holding the Tobasco"?
Nobody
Now look
I ain't ever done nothing
To nobody
At no time
And I ain't never got nothing
From nobody
At no time
So till I get somebody to lay something on me
At some time
Then I ain't gonna do nothing
For nobody
At no time
Now when I go out to work
On my favorite car
When I raise up that little hood
And I crawl
Way up under there
Who says, "Don't crank it up yet
Jerry's got a hold of the spark plug wire"?
Nobody
Now when I've had a few beers
And I'm feeling about as mean
As I can be
And I tell this old boy
"Yeah, you can have some trouble
If you're looking for some from me"
Then who says
"Jerry, you talking to Muhammad Ali"?
Nobody
Oh, I ain't never got nothing
From nobody
And I know I ain't never done nothing
For nobody
No time
Uh, so I got to tell you, children
I get some kinda something
From somebody
At sometime
Then I ain't gonna do nothing
I mean I ain't doing nothing for nobody
At no time
Because I believe in the old saying
That the suits say I say
That he who expected nothing
Ain't gonna be deceived
