Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What to do, yeah

I really don't know

I really don't know what to do

What do to, yeah

I really don't know

I really don't know

[Verse 2]

Maybe when the TV stops

Faded out on the epilogue

Watch the screen just fade away

Now, I really don't know

I really don't know what to do, yeah

[Verse 3]

Well, I really don't know

I really don't know what to do

What to do, yeah

I really don't know

I really don't know

[Verse 4]

There's a place where you get bored

That's what ya make your money for

Drink and dance till four o'clock

Now, you really don't know

You really don't know what to do, yeah

Nothin' to do, nowhere to go

You're talkin' to people that you don't know

There's na-na-nothin', to do-do-do

There's na-na-nothin', no (No)

I really don't know what to do, yeah

[Verse 5]

Well, I really don't know

I really don't know what to do

What to do, yeah

I really don't know

I really don't know

[Verse 6]

Hurry people get on your train

Don't be late for work again

Take this time to go to bed

Now, I really don't know

I really don't know what to do, yeah

[Verse 7]

Nothin' to do, nowhere to go

You're talkin' to people that you don't know

There's na-na-nothin', to do-do-do

You're sick and tired of foolin' around

There's na-na-nothin', to do-do-do

To do-do-do, let's do-do-do this

Na-na-nothin', na-na-nothin'

Na-na-nothin', na-na-nothin'

Na-na-nothin', na-na-nothin'
