Lyrics

This song talks about the same Porgy
 That we've talked about for two years now
 His name is Porgy, only this one was written by umm
 Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh
 ♪
 I got my man now, I got Porgy
 My baby understands now, I got my Porgy
 I'm through with byways
 His way, is my way
 Forevermore
 Lord, when I feel his arms around me
 
 Knowing he can't go on without me
 I wants to beg for a chance to camp at his door
 ♪
 Say he's not much for the look and see
 He's lazy and no count as he can be
 He's got the kind of a love for me
 ♪
 So I'm changing my style
 My way of living
 Glad I've stopped taking and started giving
 I got my man, got my Porgy now
 ♪
 Though you say he's not much for the look and see
 No, no, no, no, no, no, ma-ma-ma
 He's lazy and no count as he can be
 He's got the kind of a love for me
 Oh, oh baby, I'm changing my style and way of living
 Glad I've stopped taking and started giving
 I got my man, I got my Porgy now
 ♪
 Yeah
 ♪
 Yeah
