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
