In the darkness where Nobody usually stands....

Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.

So, if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,

I'll stand up and tell you NOBODY is!

But yesterday night I got quite a scare

I woke up and Nobody just WASN'T there!

I called out and reached for Nobody's hand,

In the darkness where Nobody usually stands,

Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,

But I found SOMEBODY each place that I looked.

I searched till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,

There's no doubt about it-

NOBODY'S GONE!!"
