| 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
|

| (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
