Lyrics

He Didn't

[Verse 1]

He did nothing perfectly

He did nothing quite well

He did nothing perfectly

Much better than anyone I've ever seen

[Interlude]

Ooh, uh

[Verse 2]

He did nothing all the time

He did nothing constantly

He did nothing every day

More often than anyone I've ever seen

[Interlude]

Ooh!

Woah!

[Verse 3]

He failed, and he failed miserably

He failed, and he failed quite bad

He failed, and he failed miserably

What's better, he never even had to try

[Outro]

Woah, yeah!

Ooh-oh!
