Them that`s got, shall get
Them that`s not, shall lose
So the Bible said, and it still is news
Mama may have, and papa may have
God bless` the child,
That`s got his own
That`s got his own
Yes the strong seem to get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don`t
Ever make the grade
As mama may have
And papa may have
God bless` the child
That`s got his own
That`s got his own.
And when you got money,
You got a lots of friends
Crowdin` `round your door
When the money`s gone
And all you`re spendin` ends
They won`t be `round any more
No, no, no more
And rich relations
May give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don`t take too much
Mama may have
And your papa may have
But God bless` the child
That`s got his own
That`s got his own
God bless` the child who can stand up and say
I`ve got my own
Ev`ry child`s, got to have his own!
