I had a job, I couldn't keep it
Well they pointed at the floor and said "Sweep it"
So long, I can't take it, the boss is on my back, he's gonna break it
It's true that they say I've got nothin', here goes nothin'

I got home after midnight
Man I was lit up like a floodlight
Aw, Sloopy, she's my girlfriend
She was cryin' and a moanin' at her wit's end
It's true that they say I've got nothin', here goes nothin'

Nothin' is the way that I live my life
There ain't nothin' that I want to do
Nothin' is all I think about
Baby that means you

I had a job, I couldn't hack it
Well I threw it in their face and said "Pack it"
Aw, Sloopy, she's my girlfriend
her bitchin' and a moanin' never will end
It's true that they say I've got nothin', here goes nothin'

Here goes nothin'
Here goes nothin'
Here goes nothin'
Here goes nothin'
