Oh Sweet Nuthin - The Velvet Underground

Say a word for Jimmy Brown

F He ain't got nothing at all

He knocked the shirt right of his back

F He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown

F He walks with his head down to the ground

Took the shoes right off his feet

F And threw the poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said:

Say a word for Pearly May

F She can't tell the night from the day

They threw her out in the street

F But just like a cat she landed on her feet

And say a word for Joana Love

F She ain't got nothing at all

With every day she falls in love

F And every night she falls and when she does

She says:

Oh say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown

F He ain't got nothing at all, not a thing

And not a shirt, shirt on his back

F No, he ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger

F He walks with his head to the ground

He took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet

F And threw the poor boy out into the street

And then he said:

F She ain't got nothing at all

F She ain't got nothing at all

F She ain't got nothing at all

F She ain't got nothing at all

F She ain't got nothing at all

Sweet nuthin'

F She ain't got nothing at all

Sweet Sweet nuthin'

F She ain't got nothing at all
