[Verse 1]
Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news, oh yeah
Mama may have, and Papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

[Verse 2]
Well, the strong gets more, while the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
'Cause Mama may have, and Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

[Bridge]
Well, money, it got a lots of, a lots of friends
They're all crowding 'round your door
But oh, when you're gone, and your spending, your spending еnds
They don't come around no more

[Verse 3]
Rich rеlations give crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much, no no
Mama may have, and Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
[Bridge]
Well, money, it got a lots of, a lots of friends
They're all crowding 'round your door
But oh, when you're gone, and your, your spending, your spending ends
They don't come around no more, yeah

[Outro]
Rich relations give crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much, no no
Mama may have, and Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Hey
