Turn on the TV
Turn on the radio
Turn down that sound
Turn down that sound

Open the curtains
Open the windows
What's happening around
What's happening around

I'll do some washing
I might go shopping
I'm going downtown
I'm going downtown

Until someone told me
"Nothing happened today"
And then someone told me
"Nothing happened today"

I woke up late
I had a headache
I went back to sleep
Go back to sleep

I stood there waiting
Waiting for something
There wasn't a thing
Not even one thing

Until someone told me
"Nothing happened today"
And then someone told me
"Nothing happened today"

Harry Hooper living in No.10
Bought a toupee
And glued it to his head
"It looks very natural"
Everybody said

But then his wife said
"Toupee, isn't that a French word?"
And Harry said, "Ole"
She said, "That's a Spanish word"
And he said, "Okay”

I watched TV
I wanted to see
The late news at 10
It came on and then

She shuffled her papers
She swiveled in her chair
She looked up and she said

The weather was fair
And then it turned cold
It started to rain
Pouring with rain

Today's Thursday
Tomorrow's Friday
And this is the date
It's March 28th

And some people died
And some people were born
And some stayed the same
And some went insane

It was the morning
Then afternoon
And then the night came
And then the night came

Until someone told me
"Nothing happened today"
Someone told me
"Nothing happened today"

Someone told me
"Nothing happened
Someone told me
"Nothing happened
Someone told me
"Nothing happened today"
Yeah, yeah
It happened today
