V1:
When you ask us kids, what's going on?
And we just say, "oh, nothing".
Well you know that could spell trouble,
Because we're always up to something.
When we say that we're doin' nothing,
Well you know there's something wrong,
'Cos we just don't do nothing,
At least, not for very long.
Chorus: (kids singing)
So how do you spell trouble?
N O T H ING.
Yes, that's how I spell trouble.
NOTHING.
(Parent singing)
V3:
Well that's the trouble with nothing.
It means that something's going on.
When your kids' room gets too quiet,
You better hope it's 'cos they're gone!
Now kids can be so smart,
And they can play the game so well.
They'll trick you with their answers,
So parents - just can't tell.
Repeat Chorus:
So how do you spell trouble?
N O T H ING.
Yes, that's how I spell trouble.
NOTHING.
Repeat Chorus:
So how do you spell trouble?
N O T H ING.
Yes, that's how I spell trouble.
NOTHING.
