Velvet Underground - Oh! Sweet Nuthin' lyrics

rate me

The Velvet Underground

from the VU album "Loaded", 1970

Say a word for Jimmy Brown

He ain't got nothing at all

He knocked the shirt right of his back

He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown

He walks with his head down to the ground

Took the shoes right off his feet

And threw the poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said:

Oh, sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Oh, sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Say a word for P??? M???

She can't tell the night from the day

They threw her out in the street

Just like a cat she landed on her feet

And say a word for ??? ???

She ain't got nothing at all

With every day 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

[Woe, oh] sweet nuthin'

She ain't got nothing at all

Oh, let me hear you

(guitar solo)

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 ...
