Everybody Said (But Nobody Did)

Keith Lancaster

 

Good intentions unfortunately don’t produce completed tasks or finished products. As Grandma always said...”Everyone is willing...a few are willing to do the work and the rest are willing to let them!” However, only what is done through the Holy Spirit is worthwhile!


 

 

Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!

Well da preacher came to me and said what I ought to do
If I wanted to make my religion true
He’d do himself but he really didn’t have da time
He said dat da duty was mine

Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!
Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!

Well da deacon came by and said give me a hand
If you want to be goin’ to da promised land
Here is something dat I don’t have time to do
So I better give it to you

Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!
Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!

Well I’m too busy so I tell everybody
Da works’ gotta get done by somebody
It could be done by anybody but
Nobody (nobody)
Nobody (nobody)
Nobody (nobody) did

Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!
Everybody said dat anybody could do
De important ting somebody should do
Everybody know what anybody could do
All de good tings dat nobody did!
All de good tings dat nobody did!
All de good tings dat nobody did!
