Them that's got shall get them that's not shall loose So the Bible said and it's still is news Moma may have Popa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Yes the strong get more while the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Moma may have Popa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own One day you've got lots of friends Crowding at your door When you're gone and spending ends They don't come 'round no more Rich relations give a crust of bread and such You can help yourself but don't take too much Moma may have Popa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
