George Gershwin
I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’
I got plenty o' nuttin’
An' nuttin's plenty fo’ me
I got no car, got no mule, I got no misery
The folks with plenty of plenty
Got a lock on the door
'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em
While they're 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
All are free
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin’
An' nuttin's plenty fo' me
I got my man, and I got my song
Got heaven the whole day long
Got my man, got my Lord, got my song
I ain’t frettin' 'bout hell
'Til the time arrives
Nеver worry long as I'm well
Nevеr one to strive
To be good, to be bad
What the hell, I'm just glad l'm alive
Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
An' nuttin's plenty fo' me
I got my man, and I got my song
Got heaven the whole day long
Got my man, got my song, got my Lord
Got my man
