Monday nothing, Tuesday nothing, Wednesday and Thursday 
nothing, Friday for a change, a little more nothing, 
Saturday once more nothing.
Sunday nothing, Monday nothing, Tuesday and Wednesday, 
nothing, Thursday for a change, a little more nothing, 
Friday once more nothing.
Montik gornisht, dinstik gornisht, mitvokh un 
donershtik gornisht, fraytik for a novehneh, gornisht 
gigeleh, Shabbos vider gornisht.
Lunes nada, martes nada, miercoles y jueves nada,

Na na nana, na na nana ...
Oh, Village Voice nothing, New Yorker nothing, sing out 
in folk ways nothing. Harry Smith and Allen Ginsberg, 
nothing nothing nothing.
Poetry nothing, music nothing, thinking and dancing 
nothing. The world’s great books, a great set of 
nothing. Haughty and foddy, nothing.
f*cking nothing, sucking nothing, flesh and sex 
nothing. Church and Times Square, all a lot of nothing. 
Nothing, nothing, nothing!
Stevenson nothing, Humphrey nothing, Averell Harriman 
nothing. John Stuart Mill nill-nill, Franklin Delano 
Nothing.
Carlos Marx nothing, Engels nothing, Bakunin Kropotkin 
— nyuthing! Leon Trotsky, lots of nothing. Stalin less 
than nothing!
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, a whole lot of, a 
whole lot of nothing. Nothing, lots and lots of 
nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Not a goddamn thing.
Nothing.
With a smirk and a shtick, Tuli Kupferberg told 
everyone that everything was nothing —gornisht — 
creating, in the process, a whole new world.
