I Got Plenty O’ Nuthin’ Lyrics - Bing Crosby

Bing Crosby/Victor Young Orchestra 

Written by: George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin/Dubose Heyward 

From the Broadway play Porgy & Bess 

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!
