Them that’s got shall get
Them that’s not shall lose
So the bible said
And it still is news
Your Mama may have
And your Papa may have
But God Bless the Child that’s got their own
That’s got their own
Well the strong, they get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don’t ever make the grade
Your Mama may have
And your Papa may have
God Bless the Child that’s got their own
That’s got their own
Money,
You’ve got lots of friends
They’re all hanging round your door
But when you’re gone, and spending ends
They don’t come around anymore, No
Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don’t take too much
Well your Mama may have
And your Papa may have
God Bless that Child that’s got their own
That’s got their own
Money, You’ve got lots of friends
They’re all crowding round your door
When you’re gone, oh, all that spending ends
They don’t come around much anymore, now do they
Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don’t take too much
Well your Mama may have
And your Papa, he may have
God Bless the Child that’s got their own
God Bless that Child….
