Louis Jordan
All for the Love of Lil
I've got plenty money in my jeans
Feelin' like a man of means
I'd give up all those other queens
All for the love of Lil
No more nights of sloppy Joe's
No more bettin' on the nose
I'd give up all my fancy clothes
All for the love of Lil
Every night when all the boys
Congregate to have a ball
Although they should have called
I won't pay no mind at all
No more jivin' round the town
No more actin' like a clown
Jack, I'm gonna settle down
All for the love of Lil
I've got some money in my jeans
I'm feelin' like a man of means
Give up all those other queens
All for the love of Lil
Every night when all the boys
Congregate to have a ball
Although they should have called
I won't pay no mind at all
No more nights of sloppy Joe's
No more bettin' on the nose
I'd give up all my fancy clothes
All for the love of Lil
