God Bless the Child Lyrics
Them that�s got shall get
Them that�s not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that�s got his own
That�s got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don�t ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that�s got his own
That�s got his own
Money, you�ve got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you�re gone, spending ends
They don�t come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don�t take too much
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that�s got his own
That�s got his own
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that�s got his own
That�s got his own
He just worry �bout nothing
Cause he�s got his own

god i love old skool swing. so true.
I’ve only recently paid close attention to the lyrics, seems to me this song is about money, on the surface, but it’s really about self-love/having a “purpose” other than making dough. The artistically inclined, the goal-oriented, those with a...reason for being that excludes the Rat Race?
A second-cousin to the latter-day “The Greatest Love Of All”? Not EXACTLY the same subject matter, but close.
