NOTHING EVER HAPPENS
Rollins

as rec by The Nat "King" Cole Trio  
July 22nd 1940


Nothin' ever happens while you are out of town,
The monotony is killin' me, it's gettin' me down! (scat)
Nothin' ever happens, time just seems to crawl,
I'm so lonely, dear,
I wish you were here,
That's all!

Why, when I walk down the street,
The people I meet
Look mas dull as some old night!
A dance or a show
Don't help me I know,
And it's one heck of a life! (scat)

Nothin' ever happens,
I don't know what I'll do,
So to bed at ten
To dream again
Of you!

Why, when I walk down the street,
The people I meet
Look mas dull as some old night!
A dance or a show
Don't help me I know,
And it's one, one heck of a life! (scat)

Nothin' ever happens,
I don't know what I'll do,
So to bed at ten
To dream, dream again
Of you!
