I Got Plenty O' Nuttin - Mel Torme

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 an dey door

'Fraid somebody’s a-goin' to rob 'em

While dey’s out a-makin' more

What for?

I got no lock an 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 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

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'

An' nuttin’s plenty fo' me

I got de sun, got de moon

Got de 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

I ain’t afrettin' 'bout hell

Till de time arrive

Never worry long as I’m well

Never one to strive

To be good, to be bad

What de hell, I is glad l’s alive

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

An' nuttin’s plenty fo' me

I got my gal, I got my song

Got Hebben de whole day long

No use complainin'

Got my gal, (got his gal)

Got my Lawd, (got his Lawd)

Got my/his song!
