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!
