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 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

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. 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
