I Got Plenty O' Nuthin' 1935 'Porgy And Bess'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Apr 2005

[Porgy:] Oh, I got plenty o' nuthin'
an' nuthin'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 a goin' to rob 'em
while deys 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 okeh wid me,
'cause de things dat I prize,
like de stars in the de skies,
all are free.
Oh, I got plenty o' nuthin'
an nuthins' plenty for me.
I got my pal, got my song,
got Hebben the whole day long.
No use complaining!
Got my gal, got my Lawd,
got my Song.

Oh, I got plenty o' nuthin'
an' nuthin's plenty fo' me.
I got the Sun, got the Moon,
got the deep blue sea.
De folks wid plenty o' plenty
got to pray all de day.
Seems wid plenty you sure got to worry
how to keep de debble away, away.
I ain't a frettin' 'bout hell
till 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' nuthin'
an nuthins' plenty for me.
I got my pal, got my song,
got Hebben the whole day long.
No use complaining!
Got my gal, got my Lawd,
got my Song.
