about

A song about a close call!

lyrics

What does he do in the morning when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do in the evening when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do in the daytime when he's got nothing to do?
He does nothing. Oh, he does nothing.

What does he do in his office when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do in our bedroom when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do on the weekends when he's got nothing to do?
He does nothing. A whole lot of nothing.
Oh, he does nothing.

And this is the man I was to marry next February.
And this is the man. I thought he was right for me.
Till I discovered his favorite activity is doing nothing.
Oh, nothing.

Where does he go in his car when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do in our backyard when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do in his spare time when he's got nothing to do?
He does nothing.
What does he do with his buddies when he's got nothing to do?
What does he do with himself when he's got nothing to do?
And what does he do with me when he's got nothing to do?
He does nothing. A whole lot of nothing.

But luckily, one day I caught him in the act.
Well, I walked in on him as he was sitting in the dark, drinking a beer and just looking back - doing nothing. Nothing. A whole lot of nothing.
Oh, nothing.

What does he do in the morning? Nothin'!
What does he do in the evening? Nothin'!
What does he do in the daytime? Nothin'! No, he does nothing.
What does he do in the winter? Nothin'!
What does he do in the summer? Nothin'!
What does he do in the spring time? Nothin'!

Oh, he does nothin'! Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Oh, he does nothing. Nothing! A whole lot of nothin'...
He does nothing!
