Them that`s got shall get
Them that`s not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news
Your mama may have
Your papa may have
But God bless the child
Who`s got his own
The strong get more
The weak ones fade
Empty pockets
Well, they don`t ever make the grade
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
Who`s got his own
Who`s got his own
When you`ve got money
You`ve got lots of friends
They`re always hangin` around your door
But when the money`s all gone
And the spending ends
They don`t come around much anymore
Rich relations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But you better not take too much, no
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
Who`s got his own
Who`s got his own
Them that`s got shall get
Them that`s not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news
Your mama may have
Your papa may have
But God bless the child
That`s got his own
Them that`s got his own
Them that`s got his own
