Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose So the Bible says and it still is news My Mama may have and my Papa may have But God bless the child who got his own Who's got his own Now the rich get rich While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade My Mama may have and my Papa may have But God bless the child who got his own Who's got his own Woah! Money, you have lots of friends Hanging around your door But when it's gone and the spending ends You don't come hanging 'round no more Rich relations give crust of bread and such You can help yourself but don't take too much My Mama may have and my Papa may have But God bless the child who got his own Who's got his own
