[Verse 1]
Praise to the Fords and Rockefellers
The buyers and the sellers
All power to the great
Give them the city and the state
Bless them with bodyguards and tellers
[Chorus]
May God bless Rockefeller
May God bless Henry Ford
May God bless J. P. Morgan, too
And his great treasure hoard
May God bless sex appeal
When wealthy men get bored
God keep their faith and profits high
And though the poor may starve and die
Make sure no earthly court will try
The rich, oh Lord!
[Bridge]
Can't you hear the poor man in the alley pleading
While the millionaires go strolling by, unheeding
Sure was more that you approve of this proceeding
Send the rich another dividend
Then they'll give a little bowl of soup to every poor man
Then they'll give a little bowl of soup to every poor man
[Verse 2]
Help and protect the ruling classes
'Til hatred of them passes
Lord, smile on those who smile
Grant them the wealth to live in style
Pardon their crimes against the masses
[Chorus]
May God bless Rockefeller
May God bless Henry Ford
God bless big oil and coal and steel
Send them their just reward
May God bless sex appeal
When wealthy men get bored
God keep their faith and profits high
And though the poor may starve and die
Make sure no earthly court will try
The rich who rule the earth the way you rule the sky
Almighty God!
