If I go swimming, rains come down,
Won't catch me crying, no, won't spin me around,
And if I'm dancing, slip a disc,
I've been dancing, baby, at my own risk.

'Cause I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could,
Nobody, no...nobody's gonna bring me down.

Should that monkey, oh, come around again, he can't touch me, no, no, (no, no, no)
He can't win 'cause I will be ready down on my knees,
Singing, "God almighty, help me - oh, won't you help me, help me please'"

I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could,
Nobody, no...nobody's gonna bring me down,
I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could,
Nobody, no...nobody's gonna bring me down.

I got my trials, I got my pain, (said I got my pain)
I count my blessings though, I count them gain, (yes, I do)
Might be a rich man someday soon, (someday soon)
Might be down and out with nothing though, but a bible and a spoon.

I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could,
Nobody, no...nobody's gonna bring me down,
I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could,
Nobody, no...nobody's gonna bring me down.

Nobody's gonna bring me down,
I've seen bad and I've seen good, (I've seen bad and I've seen good)
Done the best I could, whoa yeah,
Nobody, no...nobody's gonna bring me down,
No, no, no,
Nobody, no, no, (nobody, no, no)
Nobody, no, no, (nobody, no, no)
Nobody, no, no, (nobody, no, no)
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody,
No, no, no, nobody, no, no,
Not a single soul, baby, (nobody, no, no)
Nobody, no, no. (nobody, no, no)
