I Got Plenty o'nuttin' (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « Porgy and Bess ») - Sammy Davis, Jr.

I got plenty o' nuttin'

An' nuttin’s plenty for me

I got no car, got no mule, and I got no misery

De folks wid plenty o' plenty

Got have a lock on dey door

'Fraid sombody’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 can steal de rug from de floor

Dat’s okay wid me

«Cause de things dat I prize

Like de stars in de skies

Are all free

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

An' nuttin’s plenty for me

I got my gal, and got my song

Got Hebben the whole day long!

Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!

I got plenty o' nuttin'

An' nuttin’s plenty for me

I’ve got the sun, and I got the moon

And I got the deep blue sea

Before with plenty of plenty

Got to pray all da' day

Seems with plenty

That you sure got to worry

How to keep the devil away

Away

I ain’t a frettin' bout hell

Til' the time arrives

Never worry long as I’m well

Never want to strive

To be good, to be bad, what the hell

I’s glad I’s alive

Oh, I got plenty o' nuttin'

An' nuttin’s plenty for me

I got my gal, got my song

Got Hebben the whole day long!

Got my gal, got my Lawd, got my song!
