Well ashes to ashes and dust to dust I hate to think about dyin' but someday I must
So I'm tryin' to live a lot while I can but I'm tellin' you I'm a disappointed man
There ain't nothin' happinin' to me there ain't nothin' happinin' to me
The sun goes down I'm just another day older there ain't nothin' happinin' to me

Man next door he drives a big Cadillac
Got a fine lookin' woman to keep this three room shack
But he ain't nothin' special he ain't nothin' hot
But I would like to have just a half of what he's got
There ain't nothin' happinin' to me

Well once I was a man with a whole lotta dreams
But I've never amounted to a hill of beans
A man needs a woman that'll make him feel good
But woman of mine she wouldn't do it if she could
There ain't nothin' happinin' to me there ain't nothin' happinin' to me
Well everybody else got somethin' goin' on there ain't nothin' happinin' to me
There ain't nothin' happinin' to me I want somethin' happen to me
I wish that somethin' would happen to me
