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.
