Some people go to school to learn how to teach Some people go to school tryin' to learn how to preach If you can't preach without goin' to school You ain't no preacher you're an educated fool And that's all and that's all You'd better change your way of Livin' before the good Lord say that's all Now a feller I know, well he's a mizer man, Keeps tryin' to save all the money that he can But when that ole undertaker lets him down Where's he gonna spend that money under the ground And that's all and that's all Now man come from monkeys that's what some people say But the Good Book brother just don't tell it that way And if you believe that monkey tale like some folks do Then I'd rather be that monkey, brother than you And that's all and that's all You'd better change your way of Livin' before the good Lord say that's all. Well my little song's finished, my little song's through I didn't necessarily mean to sing this song for you But If you don't like the way the little song goes That's a pretty good sign I've been a-trumping on your toes And that's all and that's all You'd better change your way of Livin' 'fore the good Lord say that's all And that's all
