Some people go to school

To try and learn how to teach
|
Some people go to school
|
To try and learn how to preach
|
But if you preach after goin' to school
|
Be sure you preach and teach the golden rule
|
And that's all, and that's all
|
You better change your way of livin'
|
For the good Lord says
|
That's all
|
|
A feller I know is a miser man
|
He's tryin' to save all the money he can
|
But when that undertaker lets him down
|
Where's he goin' to spend
|
That money under the ground
|
And that's all, and that's all
|
You better change your way of livin'
|
For the good Lord says
|
That's all
|
|
Now, man came from monkey
|
Some folks say
|
But the good book, brother
|
Don't tell it that way
|
If you believe that monkey tale
|
Like some folks do
|
I'd rather be that monkey than you
|
And that's all, that's all
|
Better change your way of livin'
|
For the good Lord says
|
That's all
|
|
My little song is finished
|
My little song is through
|
And I didn't necessarily mean the song for you
|
But if you don't like the way the little song goes
|
That's a mighty good sign
|
That I've been trompin' on your toes
|
And that's all, I said, that's all
|
Better change your way of livin'
|
For the good Lord says
|
That's all
|
Ya, that's all
|
