NOTHIN'


Below are the lyrics to a catchy rock 'n' roll track that was recorded for
Fredlo Records in Davenport, Iowa, U.S.A. in the mid/late 1950's. Unfortunately,
no information seems to exist regarding the group, the writers, or the recording
date.

(Nothin'!)

Nothin' is what you mean to me
Nothin' is what you'll always be
Nothin' is all you ever do
And nothin' is what will become of you

Nothin' is your secret dish
Nothin' is your one ambish
But if you want me so bad
I can be had for the slight sum of nothin'

Nothin' is all you ever had
Nothin' and that's mighty bad
Nothin' is all you ever see
Not a thing, not a thing, believe me

Nothin' is what you mean to me
Nothin' is what you'll always be
But if you want me so bad
I can be had for the slight sum of nothin'

(Nothin's what you mean to me)

(Instrumental Break)

Nothin' is what you mean to me
Nothin' is what you'll always be
Nothin' is all you ever do
And nothin' is what will become of you

Nothin' is your secret dish
Nothin' is your one ambish
But if you want me so bad
I can be had for the slight sum of nothin'

Nothin' is all you ever had
Nothin' and that's mighty bad
Nothin' is all you ever see
Not a thing, not a thing, believe me

Nothin' is what you mean to me
Nothin' is what you'll always be
But if you can't live without me, you want me so bad
I can be had for nothin'

(I can be had for nothin')
