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.
