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
  
   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!
