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 plenty They've got a lock on the door Afraid somebody's gonna 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 |

He loves and she loves,
And they love so why can't you love and I love like too? Birds love and bees love And whispering trees love, And that's what we both should do. Oh I always knew someday you'd come along, We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong, Hear me he loves and she loves And they love so won't you Love me as I love you? Oh I always knew someday you'd come along, We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong, Hear me he loves and she loves And they love so won't you Love me as I love you?

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you And with your permission May I list a few The way you wear your hat The way you sip your tea The memory of all that No they can't take that away from me The way your smile just beams The way you sing off key The way you haunt my dreams No they can't take that away from me We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love But I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife The way we danced till three The way you changed my life No they can't take that away from me |

If I should suddenly start to sing
Or stand on my head or anything Don't think that I've lost my senses It's just that my happiness finally commences The long long ages of dull despair Are turning into thin air And it seems that suddenly I've Become the happiest girl alive Things are looking up I've been looking the landscape over And it's covered with 4 leaf clover Oh things are looking up Since love looked up at me Bitter was my cup But no more will I be the mourner For I've certainly turned the corner Oh things are looking up Since love looked up at me See the sunbeams Every one beams Just because of you Love's in session And my depression Is unmistakably through Things are looking up It's a great little world we live in Oh I'm happy as a pup Since love looked up at me See the sunbeams Every one beams Just because of you Love's in session And my depression Is unmistakably through Things are looking up It's a great little world we live in Oh I'm happy as a pup Since love looked up at me |

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb But people from Missouri never incensed me Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned For from hist'ry I had learned How many, many times the worm had turned They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round They all laughed when Edison recorded sound They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When they said that man could fly They told Marconi Wireless was a phony It's the same old cry They laughed at me wanting you Said I was reaching for the moon But oh, you came through Now they'll have to change their tune They all said we never could be happy They laughed at us and how! But ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh now? They all laughed at Rockefeller Center Now they're fighting to get in They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin They all laughed at Fulton and his steamboat Hershey and his chocolate bar Ford and his Lizzie Kept the laughers busy That's how people are They laughed at me wanting you Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye." But oh, you came through Now they're eating humble pie They all said we'd never get together Darling, let's take a bow For ho, ho, ho! Who's got the last laugh? Hee, hee, hee! Let's at the past laugh Ha, ha, ha! Who's got the last laugh now?" |

I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do, what to do, what to do The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known A foggy day, in London town Had me low, had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm British Museum, had lost its charm How long I wondered, Could this thing last But the age of miracles, hadn't past For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere For suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town, The sun was shining everywhere Everywhere Everywhere Everywhere |

'Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men Five or ten, dollars then, I'd collect from all those yes-men Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men Darling, can't you see? 'Twas for charity? Though these lips have made slips, it was never really serious Who'd have thought, I'd be brought to a state that's so delirious? I could cry salty tears Where have I been all these years? Little wow, tell me now How long has this been goin' on? There were chills up my spine And some thrills I can't define Listen sweet, I repeat How long has this been goin' on? Oh, I feel that I could melt Into heaven I'm hurled I know how Columbus felt Finding another world Kiss me once, then once more What a dunce I was before What a break, for heaven's sake How long has this been goin' on? (spoken) Kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four What a break, for heaven's sake How long has this been goin' on? |

I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky I was doing all right Till you came by. Had no cause to complain Life was as sweet as apple pie Never noticed the rain Till you came by. But now whenever you're away Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day I just sit and wonder If love isn't one big blunder. But when you hold me tight Tingling all through, I feel somehow I was doing all right But I'm doing better than ever now. But now whenever you're away Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day I just sit and wonder If love isn't one big blunder. But when you hold me tight Tinglin' all through, I feel somehow I was doing all right But I'm doing better Better than ever now. |

Listen to my tale of woe,
it's terribly sad but true, All dressed up, no place to go Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue. I must win some handsome guy Can't go on like this, I could blossom out I know, With somebody just like you. So... Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good Oh, lady, be good to me I am so awf'ly misunderstood So lady, be good to me Oh, please have some pity I'm all alone in this big city I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood, So lady be good to me. Oh, please have some pity I'm all alone in this big city I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood, So lady be good to me. Oh lady be good to me. |
