| 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! |
