Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
Well, the strong get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't quite make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding 'round your door
But when you're down, the spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself
Don't you take too much
Your Mama may have
Your Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
Yeah, he's got his own
