That’s All Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some people go to school trying to learn how to teach
Some people go to school trying to learn how to preach
But if you can't preach without going school
Brother you're no preacher you're an educated fool

[Chorus]
And that's all (That's all, that's all) and that's all
You'd better change your way of living because the good Lord say that's all

[Verse 2]
Now a feller I know it's a miser man trying to save all the money that he can
But when the undertaker lets him down
Where's he going to spend that money under the ground

[Chorus]
And that's all and that's all
You'd better change your way of living because the good Lord say that's all

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
And that's all (That's all, that's all) and that's all
You'd better change your way of living because the good Lord say that's all

[Verse 4]
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 the little song goes
Well it's a mighty good sign that I've been tromping on your toes

[Chorus]
And that's all and that's all
You'd better change your way of living because the good Lord say that's all
Now that's all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
