Lyrics Oh, I Got Plenty Of Nothing - Harry Belafonte

Oh, I Got Plenty Of Nothing

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
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
