Nothing Rhymed Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

If I give up the seat I've been saving 

To some elderly lady or man 

Am I being a good boy 

Am I your pride and joy 

Mother please if your pleased say I am 

And if while in the course of my duty 

I perform an unfortunate take 

Would you punish me so, unbelievably so 

Never again will I make that mistake 

This feeling inside me could never deny me 

The right to be wrong if I choose 

And this pleasure I get 

From say winning a bet 

Is to lose 

When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy 

Eating more than enough apple pies 

Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings starve to death 

Right in front of my eyes 

Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured 

Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost, 

Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth 

Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine 

Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind 

Nothing I couldn't say 

Nothing why 'cause today 

Nothing rhymed 

This feeling inside me could never deny me 

The right to be wrong if I choose, 

And this pleasure I get 

From say winning a bet 

Is to lose 

Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing ventured 

Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost, 

Nothing further than proof nothing wilder than youth 

Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine 

Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind 

Nothing I couldn't say 

Nothing why 'cause today 

Nothing rhymed
