I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’
Song from «Porgy and Bess»
George Gershwin, DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin
Oh, I got plenty o’ nuttin’,
An’ nuttin’s plenty fo’ me.
I got no car, got no mule, I got no misery.
De folks wid plenty o’ plenty
Got a lock on dey door.
’Fraid somebody’s agoin’ to rob ’em
While dey’s out amakin’ more.
What for?
I got no lock on de door,
(Dat’s no way to be)
Dey can steal de rug from de floor.
Dat’s okeh wid me,
’Cause de things dat I prize
Like de stars in de skies
All are free.
Oh, I got plenty o’ nuttin’,
An’ nuttin’s plenty fo’ me,
I got my gal, got my song,
Got Hebben de whole day long!
No use complainin’!
Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song.
