Lyrics:

[Verse 1:]
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, 'Here's twenty-five cents, go on, get somethin' to eat'?
Nobody!

[Chorus:]
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
I will never do nothin' for nobody, no time!

[Verse 2:]
When summer comes all cool and clear
And my friends see me drawing near
Who says, 'Come on, let's have a beer'?
Nobody!
When I was in that railroad wreck
And thought I'd cashed in my last check
Who took the engine off my neck?
Nobody!

[Chorus]
