Took her out to a rock and roll dance
Some cat cut in, I said, beat it, kid
He'd been to big tannies, he was big and tall
I noticed his shoulders was a wall to wall
and I went on home with nothin'
Well, I made a little dream
Sportiest gal that you've ever seen
Bought her clothes and a diamond
Nothing I mean like nothing, man
I didn't even get me a goodnight kiss
and I'm a -movin' on with nothing
Well, I met a city slicker up in Des Moines
Said he had an invention,
I kinda snickered as I turned away
But nothing, and I mean nothing
I saw him one day in his Cadillac
when your pockets are full of nothing
One day I sneaked on a quiz program
They said, what's your category?
Man, in the booth the question
For a million dollars, what's you doing here?
And that was the right answer
I won all that money and a limousine
A TV set and a sword machine
And I ended up with nothing
