Nothing was delivered   And I tell this truth to you,   Not out of spite or anger   But simply because it's true.   Now, I 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 better, nothing 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,   Yes, for 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 better, nothing 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.   No, nothing 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 better, nothing is best,   Take heed of this and get plenty rest.
