Some people go to school tryin' to learn how to teach 
Some people go to school tryin' to learn how to preach 
But if you preach without goin' school 
Brother you're 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' cause the good Lord say that's all 

Now a feller I know it's a wiser man tryin' to save all the money that he can 
One day undertaker lets him down 
Where's he gonna spend that money under the ground 
And that's all and that's all... 

Now a man come from monkey 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 than you 
And that's all and that's all... 

Well my little song is ended and my little song is through 
And I necessarilly mean this song for you 
But if you don't like the way the little song goes 
Well it's a mighty good sign that I've been trottin' on your toes 
And that's all and that's all...
