Say a word for Jimmy Brown
        he ain't got nothin' at all
        Not the shirt right off his back
        he ain't got nothin' at all
        And say a word for Ginger Brown
        walks with his head down to the ground
        Took the shoes right off his feet
        they threw the poor boy right out in the street
        and this is what he said

        Oh, sweet nothin'
        she ain't got nothin' at all
        Oh, sweet nothin'
        she ain't got nothin' at all

        Say a word for Pearly Mae
        she can't tell the night from the day
        They threw her out in the street
        just like a cat she landed on her feet
        And say a word for Joana Love
        she ain't got nothin' at all
        With every day she falls in love
        and every night she falls
        and when she does, she says

        Oh, sweet nothin'
        you know she ain't got nothin' at all
        Wow, oh, sweet nothin', hey, hey
        she ain't got nothin' at all
        oh, let me hear you ...

        Oh, say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown
        he ain't got nothin' at all, not a thing
        Not the shirt, shirt on his back
        no he ain't got nothin' at all
        And say a word for Ginger
        he walks with his head to the ground
        They took shoes, took the shoes, from his feet, from his feet
        and threw the poor boy right out in the street
        and then, he said

        Oh, sweet, sweet nothin'
        she ain't got she ain't got, she ain't got nothin' at all
        Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, nothin'
        she ain't got
        Sweet, sweet, nothin' sweet, sweet, nothin'
        nothin' at all
        Sweet, sweet nothin', got nothin', oh! sweet nothin'
        oh, oh, oh, ain't got nothin' at all
        oh, let me hear you

        (Oh, sweet nothin' ain't got nothin' at all)
        ...
        Oh, sweet nothin'
        (Oh, sweet nothin' ain't got nothin' at all)
        ...

        She ain't got nothin' at all
        she ain't got nothin' at all
        She ain't got nothin' at all
        she ain't got nothin' at all
        She ain't got nothin' at all, sweet nothin'
        ain't got nothin' at all, sweet, sweet nothin'
        She ain't got nothin' at all
