When I was young my mother said son, just be grateful for the things you've got
You've got a bed and a roof over your head and a family that loves you a lot
Don't act a fool be good and go to school you'll be grateful when you get a job
Cos we live in hard times where money's hard to find so pick up every penny that you drop

Singin its okay, its alright, not a lot of money but we get by
cnd it's alright and its okay, no its not much but we pay our way
Singing it's okay, tomorrow will be better than yesterday

That's what my momma used to say
She said it's okay
That's what my momma used to say
She said it's okay

But now I'm older got the world on my shoulders I know that money doesn't grow on trees
You've gotta work all day cos hard work pays that's what my father always says to me
But I'm doing alright I'm doing just fine enough money to last me the week
Couple penny's in pocket and a twenty in my wallet and a discount card in my jeans

Singing its okay and it's alright, not a lot of money but we get by
cnd it's alright and its okay, no its not much but we pay our way
Singing it's okay, tomorrow will be better than yesterday
She said it's okay, that's what my momma used to say
She said it's ok

cnd I ain't got a lot of money but thats okay, cos oh I know I'm lucky to wake up each day
In a nice warm bed with a smile on my face yeah my pockets may be empty but life's full of change
So I'll be singing this until I'm old and I'm grey I will sing it to my children I'll sit em down and say
You may lead a great life of money wealth and fame but life ain't just about all the money that you make
So make the most of every moment and I promise it pays cos you'll wake up every morning with a smile on your face
cnd in twenty years time you'll be looking back and saying that you're proud of your decisions and the choices you made

cnd I will still be singing like I'm up on stage and hell I may be older but life been great
Cos growing up my mother said son its okay that's what my momma used to say

She said it's okay, and it's alright, son I'll give you something that money can't buy
cnd it's alright, its okay, oh son just please believe me every time I say

It's okay, tomorrow will be better than yesterday
She said it's okay, that's what my momma used to say

She said it's okay, that's what my momma used to say
They said it's okay, that's what my brothers used to say
cnd he said it's okay, that's what my father used to say
Yeah they said it's okay, that's what my family used to say
They said it's okay
