Nothin’
[HAYWOOD]
I haven’t done nothin’
And I never did nothin’
Since I never did nothin’
This is a fine “how do you do?”
Don’t understands nothin’
Never dids learns nothin’
Since I don’t knows nothin’
This is a fine “how do you do?”

So go on and bury me
Like ya’ do a cat
Go get some dirt and a shovel
And that’ll be that
Can’t figure out, so I won’t even try
What’s white looks whiter
What’s black looks blacker
I ain’t done nothin’ but I’m goin’ to die

So I won’t says nothin’
It wouldn’t helps nothin’
When yous can’t helps nothin’
I’s believes it’s true
It’s a real fine “how do you do?”
