Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you
Not out of spite or anger
But simply because it s true.
NowI hope you won t object to this
Giving back all of what you owe
The fewer words you have to waste on this
The sooner you can go.
Nothing is betternothing is best
Take heed of this and get plenty of rest.
Nothing was delivered
But I can t say I sympathize
With what your fate is going to be
Yesfor telling all those lies.
Now you must provide some answers
For what you sell has not been received
And the sooner you come up with them
The sooner you can leave.
Nothing is betternothing is best
Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
(Now you know)
Nothing was delivered
And it s up to you to say
Just what you had in mind
When you made ev rybody pay.
Nonothing was delivered
Yes n someone must explain
That as long as it takes to do this
Then that s how long that you ll remain.
Nothing is betternothing is best
Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
