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)
