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!
