[Verse 1]
Too much of nothing
Can make a man feel ill at ease
One man's temper might rise
Where the other man’s temper might freeze
In a day of confessions
We cannot mock a soul
Oh, when there's too much of nothing
No one has control

[Chorus]
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Send her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion

[Verse 2]
Too much of nothing
Can make a man abuse a king
He can walk the streets and boast like most
But he won't know a thing
But it’s all been done before
It's all been written in the book
But when there's too much of nothing
Nobody should look
[Chorus]
Say hеllo to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Sеnd her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion

[Verse 3]
Too much of nothing
Can turn a man into a liar
It can cause some men to sleep on nails
And cause other me to eat fire
Ev'rybody's doin' something
I've heard it in a dream
But when there's too much of nothing
It just makes a fella mean

[Chorus]
Say hello to Valerie
Say hello to Vivian
Give her all my salary
On the waters of oblivion
