Lyrics

[00:01.30] Lisa:Um, can you hear me in the booth?
[00:04.80] Recording engineer:Loud and clear, Lisa.
[00:05.88] Lisa:Oh, good. Thank you, sir, for letting me be in a real studio. It's a genuine thrill, sir.
[00:16.23] Could I trouble you with one request?
[00:18.98] Recording engineer:Sure thing.
[00:20.81] Lisa:No synthetic sound, please. I want all live musicians.
[00:52.70] Them that's got shall get,
[00:55.67] Them that's not shall lose,
[01:00.43] So the Bible says.
[01:04.37] And it still is news.
[01:08.79] Mama may have,
[01:12.38] Papa may have,
[01:16.56] But God bless the child
[01:18.81] That's got his own.
[01:22.22] That's got his own.
[01:30.59] Yes, the strong get more
[01:34.49] While the weak ones fade.
[01:39.34] Empty pockets don't,
[01:43.90] They never make the grade.
[01:47.58] Mama may have,
[01:51.39] Papa may have,
[01:55.20] But God bless the child
[01:57.57] That's got his own.
[02:00.77] That's got his own.
[02:10.46] When you've got money,
[02:14.13] You've got lots of friends
[02:18.00] Crowding round the door.
[02:25.72] But when it's gone,
[02:29.44] And all spending ends,
[02:33.64] Oh, they don't come round no more.
[02:40.25] Rich relations give
[02:44.73] Crust of bread and such.
[02:48.96] You can help yourself
[02:52.77] But don't take too much.
[02:57.23] Mama may have,
[03:01.20] Papa may have,
[03:05.10] God bless the child
[03:06.74] That's got his own.
[03:10.43] That's got his own.
[03:20.38] Bleeding Gums:Well, that was lovely, Miss Lisa. Very soulful.
[03:23.51] Lisa:Thank you, Mr. Murphy.
[03:24.93] Bleeding Gums:Now, let's play a lil' blues.
