He is known for the hit singles "Everybody's Talkin'" , "Without You" , and "Coconut" . Nilsson also wrote the song "One" made famous by the rock band Three Dog Night.

Home again and the streets are not much cleaner
And the quaint old south side scenery is quaint no more
Just older than before
Go up the stairs and down the hallway to my Daddy's door.
Your son is home, Dad, and he's found girl
Well she's the greatest girl in all the world
I think you'll like her, Dad, I hope you do
But if you don't, that's all right too.
What's new ? Do you still work at the drug store ?
Is that true ? Still polishing the same floor
I miss my good ol' Dad, my but I'm glad to see ya home again
No I won't be staying here, Dad.
Come and see us, Papa, when you can
There'll always be a place for my old man
Just drop by when it's convenient to
Be sure and call before you do.
So long Dad, so long Dad
So long Dad, so long Dad
So long Dad, so long Dad
