- And every night it was the same old thing,
- Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
- Shoot pool and talk about girls,

- One day in a local bar,
- She heard a movie man was looking for a star,
- And everybody in the whole damn town,
- Got the call to come on down,
- And when she walked into the room,
- Every heart went BOOM BOOM BOOM, - Who's that girl?
- She's exactly what were looking for,
- But nothing ever happens round here,
- Nothing ever happens round here;
-
- They said nothing, no nothing,
- Nothing ever happens round here,
- Nothing, no nothing,
- Nothing ever happens round here;

- Eb
- And so she took a screen test,
- Bb
- No doubt that she was the best,

- The camera fell in love with her,
- Eb Fadd9 G
- Before she knew it she was on the way to make that dream
come true;
-
- Now she's living in Hollywood,
- And everything is looking good,
- She thinks about the folks back home,
- And her boyfriend all alone, but;
-
- Every night it's still the same old thing,
- Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
- Shoot pool and talk about girls,
- And nothing ever happens round here,
- Nothing ever happens round here,
-
- They said nothing, no nothing,
- Nothing ever happens round here,
- Nothing, no nothing,
- Nothing ever happens round here;
