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
<lengthy instrumental>
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
