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! Music by Bert Williams with lyrics by Alex Rogers, 1905
