When life seems full of clouds and rain

And I'm full of nothin' but pain

Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?

Nobody 
 
D 
When Wintertime comes with its snow and sleet

And me with hunger and cold feet

nobody, no time 
 
When Summertime comes all warm and clear 
And my friends see me drawin' near 
Who says "come on in and have a beer"? 
Nobody 
 
Well one time when things was lookin' bright 
I started to whittlin' on a stick one night 
Who said "Hey! That's dynamite!"? 
Nobody 
 
Mmmm, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody 
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time 
And until I get something from somebody, sometime 
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time 
 
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody 
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time 
And until I get something from somebody, sometime 
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time
