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 can't preach without not goin' to school Brother, you're ain't no preacher, you're an educated fool And that's all, oh, that's all (That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all) You better change your way of livin' (That's all) 'Cause the good Lord say that's all (That's all) Now a feller I know is a miser man Tryin' to save all the money that he can But when that undertaker lets him down Where's he gonna spend that money under the ground And that's all, I said, that's all (That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all) You better change your way of livin' (That's all) 'Cause the good Lord say that's all (That's all) Now a man come from monkey some folks say
But the Good Book, really 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, I said, that's all (That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all) You better change your way of livin' (That's all) 'Cause the good Lord say that's all (That's all) Well, my little song is ended and my little song is through And I didn't necessarily mean this song for you But if you don't like the way this little song goes Well, it's a mighty good sign that I've been steppin' on your toes And that's all, and that's all (That's all, that's all, that's all, that's all) You better change your way of livin' (That's all) 'Cause the good Lord say that's all (That's all)
