Everybody’s Up to Somethin’ Songtext
von Brian Setzer

I saw a man on a TV show, he said, "Don′t drink alcohol"
Please, don't smoke no cigarettes, don′t drink no coffee at all
Later on, I'm watching the news
And the man from the TV show was stopped by the cops
And in his trunk was a suitcase full of - well, you know

Everybody's up to somethin′, everybody′s got somethin' goin′ on
Nobody's up to nothin′, everybody's done somebody wrong
Everybody′ up to somethin', everybody's got to sing their song
Nobody′s up to nothin′, come on everybody, sing along

Well, the preacher man is callin' on you
To live a much better life
Get to the church on time, say all your prayers
Don′t covet thy neighbor's wife

The preacher man was surprised to see dissensions in the ranks
When the feds moved in, it was soon found out he had a billion in the bank
Wo!


Everybody′s up to somethin', everybody′s got somethin' goin' on
Nobody′s up to nothin′, everybody's done somebody wrong
Everybody′ up to somethin', everybody′s got to sing their song
Nobody's up to nothin′, come on everybody, sing along

Well, everybody's got somethin' to say
About practically everything
Well, they can feed the poor, they can tax the rich
They can even make Ashlee sing

If I′m doin′ somethin' that′s botherin' you
Don′t be tellin' it nationwide
′Cause everybody in the whole wide world
Got a little bit of somethin' to hide

Everybody's up to somethin′, everybody′s got somethin' goin′ on
Nobody's up to nothin′, everybody's done somebody wrong
Everybody′ up to somethin', everybody's got to sing their song
Nobody′s up to nothin′, come on everybody, sing along

Everybody's up to somethin′, everybody's got somethin′ goin' on
Nobody′s up to nothin', everybody's done somebody wrong
Everybody′ up to somethin′, everybody's got to sing their song
Nobody′s up to nothin', come on everybody, sing along (nobody)
