The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City. First active from 1964 to 1973, their best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although experiencing little commercial success while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s. An often-repeated statement, made by Brian Eno in a 1982 interview, is that while the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band." more »

Say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
Not the shirt right off his back
He ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger Brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right off his feet
Threw the poor boy right out in the street

And this is what he said

Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Say a word for Polly May
She can't tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet

And say a word for Joanna Love
She ain't got nothing at all
'Cause everyday she falls in love
And every night she falls when she does, she says

Oh sweet nuthin'
You know she ain't got nothin' at all
Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Oh, let me hear you

Oh, Say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown
He ain't got nothing at all
Not a thing
Not the shirt, shirt on his back
No he ain't got nothing at all

And say a word for Ginger
He walks with his head to the ground
They took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet
And threw the poor boy out in to the street

And then he said
Oh sweet, sweet nuthin'
She ain't got, she ain't got, she ain't got nothing at all
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all

Oh, let me hear you

Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
