You, Garfield Lee,
listen to me,
there ain't no use talkin' man
we can't agree,
you heard me say
you're in the way,
you better hunt a new hen house to lay.
Go on now coon,
give up that room,
if you don't somethin' will
happen real soon.
What has you done
say look a here son,
you ain't done nothin' for none.

You walk like nothin'
and you talk like nothin'
nothin' seems to be your aim,
you look like nothin'
and you act like nothin'
nothin' and you are the same.
You can't learn nothin'
'cause you don't know nothin'
I've forgot more than you ever knew;
and the only way I can figure you out
is nothin' from nothin' leaves you.

You walk like nothin'
and you talk like nothin'
nothin' seems to be your aim,
you look like nothin'
and you act like nothin'
nothin' and you are the same.
You can't learn nothin'
'cause you don't know nothin'
I've forgot more than you ever knew;
and the only way I can figure you out
is nothin' from nothin' leaves you.

I heard you said,
since we've been wed,
when you married me
you was out of your head,
now take a walk
add up your talk,
when you're thro' addin'
your answer'll be nought.
One we were made,
one we have slayed,
I am that one while you've been mislaid,
I'm getting sore,
just climb thro' that door,
must I repeat once more?

You walk like nothin'
and you talk like nothin'
nothin' seems to be your aim,
you look like nothin'
and you act like nothin'
nothin' and you are the same.
You can't learn nothin'
'cause you don't know nothin'
I've forgot more than you ever knew;
and the only way I can figure you out
is nothin' from nothin' leaves you.

You walk like nothin'
and you talk like nothin'
nothin' seems to be your aim,
you look like nothin'
and you act like nothin'
nothin' and you are the same.
You can't learn nothin'
'cause you don't know nothin'
I've forgot more than you ever knew;
and the only way I can figure you out
is nothin' from nothin' leaves you.
