Turn on the TV
|
Turn on the radio.
|
Turn down that sound
|
Turn down that sound
|
|
Open the curtains
|
Open the windows.
|
What's happening around
|
What's happening around
|
|
I'll do some washing
|
I might go shopping
|
I'm going downtown
|
I'm going downtown
|
|
Someone told me, "nothing happened today."
|
|
I woke up late
|
I had a headache
|
I went back to sleep
|
Go back to sleep
|
|
I stood there waiting
|
Waiting for something
|
There wasn't a thing
|
Not even one thing
|
|
Someone told me, "nothing happened today."
|
|
Harry Hooper living in No. 10
|
Bought a toupee and glued it to his head
|
"It looks very natural," everybody said.
|
But then his wife said "Toupee, isn't that a French word?"
|
And Harry said, "Ole." She said, "That's a Spanish word."
|
And he said "O.K., can't tell the difference these days."
|
|
I watched TV
|
Cos I wanted to see
|
The late news at 10
|
It came on and then
|
|
She shuffled her papers
|
She swivelled in her chair
|
She looked up and said
|
|
The weather was fair
|
And then it turned cold
|
It started to rain
|
Pouring with rain.
|
|
Tomorrow's Wednesday
|
Today was Tuesday
|
And this is the date
|
March 28th
|
|
Some people died
|
Some people were born
|
And some stayed the same
|
And some went insane
|
|
It was the morning
|
Then afternoon
|
And then the night came
|
And then the night came
|
|
Oh...and someone told me, "Nothing happened today."
|
Yes, someone told me, "Nothing happened today."
|
It happened today.
