I got rhythm, 
I got music,
I got my man, 
Who can ask for anything more? 

I got daisies, 
In green pastures,

Old man trouble, 
I don't mind him. 
You won't find him 'round my door. 

I got starlight,
I got sweet dreams,
I got my man,
Who can ask for anything more? 
Who can ask for anything more?
