Peter, Paul and Mary — Too Much of Nothing

[Verse 1] Too much of nothin' can make a man feel ill at ease One man's temper might rise While the other man's temper might freeze In the days of long confessions, we cannot mock a soul Ah, when there's too much of nothin' no one has control [Chorus] Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary on the waters of oblivion [Verse 2] Too much of nothin' can make a man abuse a king He can walk the streets and boast like most (Walk the streets) But he don't know a thing It's all been done before, it's all been written in the book (Now) But when it's too much of nothin', nobody should look [Chorus] Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary on the waters of oblivion [Verse 3] Too much of nothin' can turn a man into a liar It can cause some man to sleep on nails Another man to eat fire Everybody's doin' somethin', I heard it in a dream But when it's too much of nothin', it just makes a fella mean [Chorus] Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary on the waters of oblivion
