Them That Got (Ray Charles)

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)
