Oh yeah, all right
Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee
Oh yeah, all right
Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee

Yeah, you put me in the trash
Yeah, you gave me up for lost
Now I see that you're doing alright
Take a look at me and count the cost

Baby can't you see
I'm short on greens?
I am your long lost man
You don't recognize me
 
Yeah

Oh yeah, all right
Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee
Oh yeah, all right
Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee

I used to load you up with cash
I used to dress you like a dream
All the fancy food you always wolfed it down
Yeah but you never made a scene

Baby can't you see
I'm no fantasy?
I am your long lost man
You don't recognize me

Yeah that's all right

 Oh yeah, all right
Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee
Oh yeah, all right - for the sympathy
Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee

Yeah, standing around in the rain
With my hands frozen
Looking around for small change
In your window

Out in the cold once again
Write out a cheque for old flames
Pity for old time's sake
I'll make your heart glow
 
Yeah

Yeah I'm your long lost man
Don't you recognize me?   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
Yeah, give me some money baby
I'm broke   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
Why don't you, why don't you dig right down in your purse and   (Oh yeah, all right)
Give me some dough?   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
Yeah don't you remember me baby?   (Oh yeah, all right)
Don't you remember all those Jean Paul   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
Gaultier dresses I bought you?
And all those tickets to the opera?   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
And what about that bright red Ferrari I bought you now
And all those, all those shoes?   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
Yeah
I know it's the recession baby, but give me some money   (Oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee, oo-wee)
Yeah come on now be generous
Oh yeah
