A great man always remembers his debts
If he's one down on you, you'll get the next
He'd let you smoke his last cigarette
If you lend him an ear he'll never forget
Yea, a great man always remembers his debts
I've seen him up and I've seen him around
He'd never let on but he's feeling a little down
Money and women causing him pain
Smiling on Friday and on Sunday again
Yes, a great man always remembers his debts
For and just on I'm feeling this wave
He's ready to take on the world some day
And if he fancies the skin off your back
He'd lay himself down for the train off the tracks
Cause a great man always remembers his debts
