Blood Sweat And Tears-God Bless The Child lyrics

Them that's got shall get
them that's not shall lose

So the bible says and it still is news

Mama may have and papa may have

God bless the child that's got his own
Well that's got his own

And the strong seem to get more
While the weak one's fade

Empty pockets don't ever make the grade

'Cuz mama may have and papa may have

God bless the child that's got his own
that's got his own

And when ya' got money
ya' got lots of friends
they're crowdin' 'round your door

When the money's gone
and all your spendin' ends
they won't be 'round anymore Oh~no~~

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 papa may have

God bless the child that's got his own
that's got his own

And when ya' got money
ya' got lots of friends
they're crowdin' 'round your door

When the money's gone
and all your spendin' ends
they won't be 'round anymore Oh~no~~

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 papa may have
God bless the child
who can stand up and say~~
''I got my own''
Ev'ry child has got to have his own ye~ah
