Well, the preacher came to me and said what I ought to do

He'd do it himself, he really didn't have the time
He said that the duty was mine (Oh no)

Everybody said that anybody could do
(Oh, not me, no, no, no, no, no)
The important things somebody should do (Not I)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did (Not me)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Oh, oh no)
The important things somebody should do

Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did

Well, the deacon came by and said, "Give me a hand
If you want to be going to the promised land
Here is something I don't have time to do
So I better give it to you" (Oh no)

Well, I'm too busy so I tell everybody
(The work's got to get done by somebody)
It can be done by anybody

All the good things that nobody did
All the good things that no...body did
