when they ask me

what i'm doin'

i always say nuttin

 

it's the best answer

for all those nosy people

who expect you to say

somethin'

 

nuttin gives you time

to dream

which is a fancy way

of saying i sleep a lot

 

nuttin is a good excuse

especially if you're old like me

and get plum worn out

by all the busy work of

doin' somethin'

 

if you're doin nuttin

it keeps you out of trouble

and gives you more time to yourself

whereas somethin' usually involves

damn hard work

 

if it comes to a choice

between somethin'

and nuttin

i go with nuttin

everytime.
