| Oh, I’ve got a sheet for my bed and a pillow for my head | 
| I’ve got a pencil full of lead and some water for my throat | 
| I’ve got buttons for my coat and sails on my boat | 
| So much more than I needed before | 
| I got money in the meter and a two bar heater | 
| Oh, now it’s getting hotter, oh, it’s only getting sweeter | 
| I got legs on my chair and a head full of hair | 
| Pot and a pan and some shoes on my feet | 
| I got a shelf full of books and most of my teeth | 
| A few pairs of socks and a door with a lock | 
| I got food in my belly and a license for my telly | 
| And nothing’s gonna bring me down | 
| Oh, no, oh | 
| Oh no, oh no, nothin’s gonna bring me down | 
| I got a nice guitar and tires on my car | 
| I got most of the means and scripts for the scenes | 
| I’m out and about so I’m in with a shout | 
| I got a fair bit of chat but better than that | 
| Food in my belly and a license for my telly | 
| And nothing’s going to bring me down | 
| Oh, nothin', oh, nothin' | 
| Nothing’s going to bring me down, oh | 
| But best of all I’ve got my baby | 
| Oh, best of all I’ve got my baby | 
| She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine | 
| And nothing’s going to bring me down, oh, ooh | 
| Oh, best of all I’ve got my baby | 
| Oh, best of all I’ve got my baby | 
| She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine | 
| And nothing’s going to bring me down | 
| She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine | 
| And nothing’s going to bring me down | 
| She’s mighty fine and says she’s all mine | 
| And nothing’s going to bring me down, not today, no, no |
