Nobody

(альбом: The Uptown Poker Club - 1973)

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
Uh huh 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
Mhm nobody

Now when I've had a few beers and I'm feeling about as mean as I can be
And I tell this ol' boy yeah you can have some trouble if you're looking for some from me
Then who says Jerry you talking to Muhammad Ali
No 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
