I Got Plenty Of Nothing
Frank Sinatra · Other Songs - Frank Sinatra
And nothing is plenty for me.
I got no car,
Got no mule,
Got no misery
Folks with plenty of plenty
They got a lock on the door
Afraid somebodyÂ’s gonna rob them while
TheyÂ’re out making more
What for?
I got no lock on the door
ThatÂ’s no way to be
They can steal the rug
From the floor
ThatÂ’s OK with me
Cause the things that I prize
Like the stars in the sky
Are all free
Say IÂ’ve got plenty of nothing
And nothing is plenty for me.
I got my girl
Got my song,
Got heaven the whole daylong.
Got my girl
Got my lawn
Got my song
IÂ’ve got plenty of nothing
And nothing is plenty for me.
I got my girl
Got my song,
Got heaven the whole daylong.
Got my girl
Got my lawn
Got my song
