FRANK SINATRA
"I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'"
(George Gershwin / Ira Gershwin / DuBose Heyward)

I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me
I got no car, got no mule, I got no misery

Folks with plenty of plenty, they got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody's gonna 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 OK with me
'Cause the things that I prize, like the stars in the skies, are all free

Say, I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song, got heaven the whole day long
Got my gal
Got my love
Got my song

I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song, I got heaven the whole day long
Got my gal
Got my love
Got my song

The original lyrics from the show Porgy And Bess were more like:

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty fo' me
I got no car, got no mule
I got no misery

De folks wid plenty of plenty
Got got a lock on dey door
'Fraid somebody's a-goin' to rob 'em
While dey's 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 with me
'Cause de things dat I prize, like de stars in de skies,
Are all free

I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin's plenty fo' me
I got my gal, got my song
Got Hebben the whole day long

No use complainin'.
Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song.

I got plenty o' nuttin'
And nuttin'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 debbil away, away.
I ain't a-frettin' 'bout hell
Till de time arrive.
Never worry long as I'm well,
Never gonna try to be good, to be bad,
What the hell? I is glad I'se alive!

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'
And 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.
