I'm talking to myself again And waving to a passing friend I've known her since I don't know when Ah, it's nothing at all Just a few of us walk arm in arm It's innocent and charming But the children seem to be getting alarmed Don't worry kids, it's nothing at all When I hear about the doom and gloom That's around the corner, and coming soon I take a sip of mother's ruin And sit with my back to the wall It's nothing at all Nothing at all And the old lady smiled It's nothing at all Then she blew all the leaves off my tree And the junk that sails our seven seas Is very nearly up to my knees But the platitudes and pleasantries Keep saying it's nothing at all I'll deal with it on another day If I close my eyes it'll go away So, bottoms up boys, and what do you say? Really, it's nothing at all It's nothing at all Nothing at all And the old lady smiled It's nothing at all And the summer passed away Nothing at all It's nothing at all And the old lady smiled It was nothing at all Then she blew all the leaves off my tree
