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 necessarily 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
