I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’ Lyrics by Donnie Ray Albert

Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[PORGY]
Oh, I got plenty of nothin'
And nothin’s plenty for me
I got no car, got no mule
Got no misery
The folks with plenty of plenty
Got a lock on their door
'Fraid somebody's a-goin’ to rob 'em
While they's out a-makin' more
What for?
Now I got no lock on my door
That's no way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor
That's okay with me
'Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the skies
All are free
Oh, I got plenty of nothin'
And nothin’s plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song
Got heaven the whole day long
[PORGY, spoken]
No use complainin’, heh
[PORGY]
Got my gal, got my Lord, got my song
[WOMEN]
Porgy change since that woman come to live with he
[SERENA]
How hе change!
[ENSEMBLE]
He ain't cross with children no morе
And ain’t you hear how
He and Bess all the time singin' in their room?
[MARIA]
I tell you that Porgy's happy now
[ENSEMBLE]
Happy
[PORGY]
I got plenty of nothin'
And nothin’s plenty for me
I got the sun, got the moon
Got the deep blue sea
The folks with plenty of plenty
Got to pray all the day
Seems with plenty you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away, away
Now I ain't a-frettin' 'bout hell
'Til the time arrive
Never worry long as I'm well
Never one to strive
To be good, to be bad
What the hell, I's glad l's alive
Oh, I got plenty of nothin'
And nothin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song
Got heaven the whole day long
[PORGY, spoken]
No use complainin', ha
[PORGY]
Got my gal
[ENSEMBLE]
Got his gal
[PORGY]
Got my Lord
[ENSEMBLE]
Got his Lord
[PORGY]
Got my song!
