Everybody Said (But Nobody Did)

Chorus:
Everybody said that anybody could do The important things somebody should do Everybody knows that anybody could do All the good things that nobody did
Repeat Chorus
Well the preacher came to me and said what I ought to do If I wanted to make my religion true
He’d do it himself but he really didn’t have the time
He said that the duty was mine
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Well the deacon came by and said give me a hand
If you want to be going to the promised land
Here is something that I don’t have time to do So I better give it to you
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Well I’m too busy so I tell everybody
The work’s got to get done by somebody
It can be done by anybody
But nobody (nobody), nobody (nobody), nobody did
Repeat Chorus (x2)
All the good things that nobody did (x2)
