Nothing was deliverd and I tell this truth to you

Not out of spite or anger but simply 'cause it's true

Now you must provide some answers for what you sell was not received

And the sooner you come up with it then the sooner you can leave
Em G
Nothing is better, nothing is best
C G C G
Take care of your health and get plenty of rest

Nothing was delivered and it's up to you to say
D G G7
Just what you had in mind when you made everybody pay
C G
Now I hope you won't object to this giving back all that you owe
D G
But the sooner you come up with it then the sooner you can go
Em G
Nothing is better, nothing is best
C G C G
Take care of your health and get plenty of rest
G C G
No nothing was deliverd, I can't say I sympathize
D G G7
With what your fate is goin' to be yes for telling all those lies
C G
No nothing was delivered yes and someone must explain

But as long as it takes to do this then that's how long that you
remain

Nothing is better, nothing is best
C G C G
Take care of your health and get plenty of rest
