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’s 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 for" 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. |
