Them That Got |
| I’ve gotten down to my last pair of shoes |
| Can’t even win a nickel bet |
| Because, ah them that’s got are them that gets |
| And I ain’t got nothin yet |
| I’m sneakin in and out duckin' my landlord |
| All I seem to do is stay in debt |
| Because, ah them that’s got (yeah) are them that gets |
| And I tell you all I ain’t got nothin' yet |
| That old sayin them that’s got are them that gets |
| Is somethin I can’t see |
| If ya gotta have somethin |
| Before you can get somethin |
| How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me |
| I see folk with long cars and fine clothes |
| That’s why they’re called the smarter set |
| Because they manage to get |
| When only them that’s got supposed to get |
| And I ain’t got nothin yet |
| (Bridge) |
| That old sayin them that’s got are them that gets |
| Is somethin I can’t see |
| If ya gotta have somethin |
| Before you can get somethin |
| How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me |
| I see folk with long cars and fine clothes |
| That’s why they’re called the smarter set |
| Because they manage to get |
| When only them that’s got supposed to get |
| And I ain’t got nothin yet |
| Whoah, I tell you all |
| I ain’t found nothing yet. |
| (Spoken) |
| You know I just don’t understand it |
| I can’t seem to get a nickle or a dime for a cup of coffee |
| I need a hamburg- in fact a hot dog wouldn’t be too bad |
| I would just be grateful if I could get my hands on most anything |
| (Fade) |
