Lookin' out for number one's a full time occupation
I give to me myself and I my own salvation
Some people try to tell me God can save me from my sin
God can take a number and I'll pencil Him in
Busy o' so busy I got no time to search
My Sunday's are all booked I got no time for church
That's for those poor souls dry as a stone
God bless this child cuz' this child's got his own

Verse 3:
He who gets the most toys and dies is the winner
I'm livin' the high life with lobster tail dinners
My Lexus, my yaucht, my gold chains and rings
These are a few of my favorite things
But most of all I keep my billfold the closest to my heart
House decorated with million dollar works of art
Roll with the bigwigs they think I am the man
But then I stop and look and think about how big I really am

Mammon is an unforgiving God so I cast him away
I live my life to God, not to get paid
Money can never save soul and I don't think I can
I look to God and I fell like a little man
