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 (Oh no)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Not me)
The important things somebody should do (Not I)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did (But why me?)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Oh no)
The important things somebody should do
(But if you want the job done, you go)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did
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" (Oh no)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Not me)
The important things somebody should do (Oh, not me)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did (Uh-uh, not me)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Oh no, no)
The important things somebody should do
(You want the job done? Well, you go)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did
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 (Oh no)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Not me)
The important things somebody should do (Not I)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did (But why me?)
Everybody said that anybody could do (Oh no)
The important things somebody should do
(But if you want the job done, you go)
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did

Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did
