Them that's got shall have Them that's not shall lose So the Bible says and that book is still the news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child who's got his own Who's got his own Oh the strong get more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, and your Papa may have God bless the child who's got his own Who's got his own Money, you've got lots of your friends Hanging round your door But when you're gone, and you're spending ends They don't come around, they don't come around no more Rich, rich relations give A crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't you dare take too much Mama may have, Papa may have God bless the child who's got his own Who's got his own God bless the child who's got his own
