Too much of nothing
Can make a man feel ill at ease
One man's temper rises
While another man's temper might freeze
Now it's at the day of confession
That we cannot mock a soul
Oh, when there's too much of nothing
No one has control
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
Well, it's too much of nothing
Can cause a man to weep
He can walk the streets like boast like most
But he'd like to keep
But it's all been done before
It's all been written in the book
And when there's too much of nothing
Nobody should look
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
And too much of nothing
Can make a man a liar
It can cause a man to sleep on nails
It can cause others to eat fire
Everybody's doin' somethin'
I heard it in a dream
Oh, when there's too much of nothing
It just makes a fella mean
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
