I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nutting's plenty for me

I got no car, I got no mule

I got no misery

De folks with plenty o' plenty

Got a lock on de door

'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em

While dey's out a-makin' more

What for?

I got no lock on de door

Dat's no way to be

Dey kin steal de rug from de floor

Dat's okay with me

'Cause de things that I prize

Like de stars in de skies

All are free

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nothin's plenty for me

I got my gal, I got my song

Got Hebben the whole day long

There's no use complainin'!

Got my gal, got my Lord

Got my song

Porgy change since dat woman come to live with he

How he change?

He ain't cross with chillen no more

An' ain't you hear how he an' Bess

All de time singin' in their room?

I tells you dat cripple's happy now

Happy!

I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nothin's plenty for me

I got the sun, got the moon

Got the deep blue sea

De folks with plenty o' plenty

Got to pray all de day

Seems with plenty you sure got to worry

How to keep the debbel away

Away

I ain't a frettin 'bout hell

'Til de time arrive

Never worry long as I'm well

Never one to strive

To be good, to be bad

What the hell?

I is glad I's alive

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

And nuttin's plenty for me

I got my gal, I got my song

Got Hebben the whole day long

There's no use complainin'!

Got my gal (Got his gal)

Got my Lord (Got his Lord)

Got my song
