Everybody said but nobody did

Chorus: Everybody said that anybody could do The important things somebody should do Everybody knows that anybody could do All the good things that nobody did Well the preacher came to me and said what I ought to do If I wanted to make my religion true He'd do it himself but he really didn't have the time He said that the duty was mine Repeat Chorus (x2) Well the deacon came by and said give me a hand If you want to be going to the promised land Here is something that I don't have time to do So I better give it to you Repeat Chorus (x2) Well I'm too busy so I tell everybody The work's got to get done by somebody It could be done by anybody But nobody, nobody, nobody did Repeat Chorus (x2) All the good things that nobody did (x2)
