George Gershwin
I Got Plenty O’ Nuthin’
I got plenty of nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty for me
I got no car, got no mule, and I got no misery
The folks with plenty of plenty
Gotta have a lock on the door
'Fraid sombody's a-goin' to rob 'em
While they's out a-makin' more
What for?
I got no lock on the door
That's no way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies
Are all free
Oh, I got plenty of nuttin'
Nuttin's plenty for me
I got my gal, and got my song
Got Hebben the whole day long
Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song
I got plenty of nuttin'
Nuttin's plenty for me
I've got the sun, and I got the moon
And I got the deep blue sea
Before with plenty of plenty
Got to pray all the day
Seems with plenty
That you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away
Away
I ain't a frettin' 'bout hell
'Til the time arrives
Never worry long as I'm well
Never want to strive
To be good, to be bad, what the hell?
I's glad I's alive
Oh, I got plenty of nuttin'
Nuttin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song
Got Hebben the whole day long
Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song
