Nothing Was Delivered

Nothing was delivered

And I tell this truth to you

Not out of spite or anger

But simply because it’s true

Now, I hope you won’t object to this

Giving back all of what you owe

The fewer words you have to waste on this

The sooner you can go

Nothing is better, nothing is best

Take heed of this and get plenty of rest

Nothing was delivered

But I can’t say I sympathize

With what your fate is going to be

Yes, for telling all those lies

Now you must provide some answers

For what you sell has not been received

And the sooner you come up with them

The sooner you can leave

Nothing is better, nothing is best

Take heed of this and get plenty rest

(Now you know)

Nothing was delivered

And it’s up to you to say

Just what you had in mind

When you made ev’rybody pay

No, nothing was delivered

Yes, ’n’ someone must explain

That as long as it takes to do this

Then that’s how long that you’ll remain

Nothing is better, nothing is best

Take heed of this and get plenty rest
