Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news
Mama may have
Papa may have
God bless the child
That's got his own , that's got his own

Well, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have
Papa may have
God bless the child
That's got his own, that's got his own

Money, 
You've got lots of friends
Just crowding round the door
When you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more

Well, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have
Papa may have
God bless the child
That's got his own, that's got his own

Well, money, 
You've got lots of friends
Just crowding round the door
When you're gone and spending ends
They don't come around no more

The strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have
Papa may have
God bless the child
That's got his own, that's got his own
