Song About Nothing/Bring Me a Beer

This song's about nothing, but I'll tell you something
The thing about nothing, it'll always be free
So if you're doing nothing, how about singing
This song about nothing, come sing it with me

I used to see a girl who didn't do nothing
But go on and on, on how life's so unfair
One day I told her "It's over between us
I'm sorry my dear, but there's just nothing there"

I often remember what a wise man once said
He said "you just can't take nothing with you when you're dead
So stop your collecting, stop carrying on
And your friends won't have nothing to throw away when you're gone"

This song's about nothing, but I'll tell you something
The thing about nothing, it'll always be free
So if you're doing nothing, how about singing
This song about nothing, come sing it with me

Come closer me brother, you might want to hear this
I'll tell you the secret of life's little game
There's nothing finer than breathing and dreaming
And those who've forgotten have no one to blame

This song's about nothing, but I'll tell you something
The thing about nothing, it'll always be free
So if you're doing nothing, how about singing
This song about nothing, come sing it with me

It goes...

Don't say nothing
Unless you've got something to say
Don't take nothing
Without asking first if it's okay
Don't wait for nothing
'Cause nothing is just what you'll get, if you sit there and wait

If you've ever thought that your life don't mean nothing
That no one would miss you, if you disappeared
Well just think again about how you fit in, son
Without you around, well there's nothing much here

This song's about nothing, but I'll tell you something
The thing about nothing, it'll always be free
So if you're doing nothing, how about singing
This song about nothing, come sing it with me

It goes...
Dada dada dun, dada dy
Dada dada dun, dada dy
Dada dada dun, dada dy
Dada dada dy, da dy, dun
Dada dada dun, dada dy
Dada dada dun, dada dy

Dada dada dy, dy, dy, dy
Dada dada dy, dy, dy, dy

I woke up this morning with a pain in my head
Couldn't think why I should get out of bed
Spent the day working to bring home the bread
By evening my time is my own, yeah, it is

So pour me a pint and I'll ring out with laughter
Stop me at two, no, make it ten after
I only smile more as I get a bit plastered
But no one likes drinking alone

So bring me a beer, I'll bring you a song
Make it a double, and I'll sing twice as long
Hold your glass high, and join in the cheer
You know I'm not driving, so bring me a beer
Yeah

Now John at the bar is a friend of old Bill
But he's spending more time with that girl dressed to kill
Will she be here tomorrow, yes she probably will
She's here almost every night

So pour me a quick one, then call me a cab
Lord only knows just how many I've had
Surely there's someone who'll pick up my tab
Cheers, you're a bit of all right

So bring me a beer, I'll bring you a song
Make it a double, and I'll sing twice as long
Hold your glass high, and join in the cheer
You know I'm not driving, so bring me a beer

Bring me a beer, I'll bring you a song
Give me a chance and I'll sing all night long
Hold your glass high, and join in the cheer
You know I'm not driving, so bring me a beer
You know I'm not driving, so bring me a beer

Bring me a beer, I'll bring you a song
Make it a double, and I'll sing twice as long
Hold your glass high, and join in the cheer
You know I'm not driving, so bring me a beer
You know I'm not driving, so bring me a beer
