I may go hungry, maybe next week,
Well, if I do, babe, I'll still find something to eat.
And you know, nobody knows,
No, nobody knows,
Well, that's the way I like it, baby, nobody knows.

And that includes you, honey,
Nobody knows,
I'll pay your rent,
I'll do you right,
Nobody knows, most every night,
But still there's nobody knows, uh,
No, no, nobody knows,
And that's the way I like to keep it
Just so nobody knows.

For the world will soon be waking to a summer's day.

I'm gonna look around and see.
See what's right, see what's there,
And breathe fresh air, ever after.

One of these days when a job just takes too long,
I'm gonna sing my song and see.

And breathe fresh air, ever after.

It's there, it's round,
It's to be found,
By you, by me,
It's all we ever wanted to be.

One of these days when we both are at our ease,
When you've got time to please yourself.
