Diddly Squat
People often ask me
What it is I've got
That makes me so happy
When clearly others aren't
Then they tend to wonder
If I'm putting on a front
But when you want for nothing
There's nothing that you want
Where everything I own and need
Could fit in a paper bag
Again there's nothing that I want
That I do not have
Which keeps it rather simple
Where no battles need be fought
When all I want or even own
Is nothing but Diddly Squat
There's a certain amount of freedom
That can't be denied
When everything you own in life
You carry by your side
And if by chance you lose it
It's not a case of do or die
Because the little stuff's not worth sweating
In the larger scope of life
With nothing here to cling to
But me, myself, and I
And a few essentials
I keep by my side
All I bring to the party
Is me, I'm the entire lot
Easy said and easy done
With nothing but Diddly Squat
