I ain’t got no dental floss
Never seen an albatross
Never been to Waikiki
Been as poor as poor can be
Get my clothes at Goodwill stores
Never do have to lock my doors
I ain’t got no doors to lock
But that’s alright with me

Can’t pay my dues in one lump sum
Tweedle de-de, tweedle de-dum
Cause you don’t think I seen enough bad times to qualify
I don’t get no ‘lectric bills
Think too much but thinkin’ fills
The lonely days and lonely nights
(alt. the lonely, lonely, lonely nights)
Never seems no love around

(break)

The seasons come the seasons go
The cards they fall the dice they roll
Wish somebody’d come and roll my stone away
Turn around and now is then
I wonder why I wonder when
Guess I shouldn’t worry guess I shouldn’t worry so
I ain’t got no bankin’ plan
Wake up with a shaking hand
Wish I could I know I can go on
The games you play don’t bother me
I only know what I can see
And I can see that I’ll be gone a long time
​
I ain’t got no dental floss
Never seen an albatross
Never been to Waikiki
Been as poor as poor can be
Get my clothes at Goodwill stores
Never do have to lock my doors
I ain’t got no doors to lock
But that’s alright with me
