Say a word for Polly May  
She can't tell the night from the day  
They threw her out in the street  
But just like a cat she landed on her feet  
And say a word for Joanna Love  
She ain't got nothing at all  
'Cause everyday she falls in love  
And every night she falls and when she does  
  
She says 
Oh sweet nuthin'  
You know she ain't got nothing at all  
Oh sweet nuthin'  
She ain't got nothing at all  
  
Oh let me hear you!  
Oh, say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown 
He ain't got nothing at all, not a thing 
And not a shirt, shirt on his back 
No, he ain't got nothing at all 
And say a word for Ginger 
He walks with his head to the ground 
He took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet 
And threw the poor boy out into the street 
And then he said: 

  
Oh, sweet sweet nuthin' 
She ain't got, she ain't got, she ain't got nothing at all 
Sweet sweet sweet sweet nuthin' 
She ain't got 
Sweet Sweet nothing ... 
Oh, let me hear you 
(guitar solo) 
She ain't got nothing at all ...
