I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'

(album: The Complete Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong on Verve - 1997)

I got plenty of nothing
And nothing's plenty for me
I got no car got no mule
I got no misery

Folks with plenty of nothing
They've got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody's going to rob 'em
While there out (a) making 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

[Refrain]
I got plenty of nothing
And nothing'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

Oh, I got plenty of nothing
And nothing'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
Sure with plenty you sure got to worry
How to keep the devil away Away

I ain't frettin 'bout hell
'Till the time arrive
Never worry long as I'm well
Never one to strive
To be good, to be bad
What the hell
I am glad I'm alive

[Refrain]
