Louis has money

Just at a time in his life when he thought he 

        was hopeless

You see him a lot these days

On the cover of this, on the back of that

Looking a hundred different ways.

Louis, you have money



Louis has moved on

All of his friends want to get somewhere

He used to hang out but he can't go back there just now



And all his affairs are economic.

He says, "That's not the way that I want it.

Holy Moses! I got my share."



How is he doing?

Ma says he wears too much makeup

With all the wrong people he tends to take up.

He tries to tell her, "Thing change, Ma."

She ain't buyin' it Lou.

She doesn't see the need for you to be such a 

        modern man.



He's got nobody to thank.

If he's cryin' at all he's cryin' all the way 

        to the bank.
