The Velvet Underground – Oh! Sweet Nuthin’

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain’t got nothing at all
Not the shirt right of his back
He ain’t got nothing at all
And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said
Oh sweet nuthin‘
She ain’t got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin‘
She ain’t got nothing at all

Say a word for Polly May
She can’t tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet
And say a word for Joanna Love
She ain’t got nothing at all
‚Cos everyday she falls in love
And everynight she falls when she does

She said
Oh sweet nuthin‘
You know she ain’t got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin‘
She ain’t got nothing at all

Oh let me hear you!

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain’t got nothing at all
Not a shirt right of his back
He ain’t got nothing at all
And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said
Oh sweet nuthin‘
She ain’t got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin‘
She ain’t got nothing at all
She ain’t got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin‘

She ain’t got nothing at all
She ain’t got nothing at all
She ain’t got nothing at all
