Blood, Sweat & 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 world, that's got his own

And 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 papa may have
But 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
They're crowdin' 'round your door
But we don't ever count on
When the money's gone and all you're spendin' ends
They won't be 'round any more, no, 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've got my own"

Every child's, got to have his own world
