[00:04.55]Louis, you’re troubled
[00:09.12]What’s your problem Daddy?
[00:10.07]I don’t know
[00:11.01]So I tried hard to be good, and do the things I should
[00:17.36]I give up everything that I enjoyed
[00:22.68]But if you slip a bit and your heart says, this is it
[00:27.59]That’s a necessary evil, my boy
[00:33.37]All my friends say I’m a fool and I won’t break any rules
[00:39.30]Why all the saintly virtues I employ
[00:44.73]But if the slightest fling makes your soul begin to sing
[00:50.11]That’s a necessary evil, my boy
[00:55.51]Well a man sometime has to sip a drink (I’m hip, I’m hip)
[01:02.08]Cast his eyes on a lovely shape (ah, you old rascal)
[01:07.40]Then sometime a wager desires
[01:12.25]If a man says he don’t, he’s not a man, he’s a liar (yes, yeah)
[01:17.15]So don’t let yourself be sad
[01:20.65]If what looks good is bad (ah, ha)
[01:23.35]Reach out, accept the things that bring you joy
[01:27.48](I will, so help me, I will)
[01:28.82]And so you feel inclined, it will help to keep in mind
[01:33.42]I know, baby, that’s a necessary evil (my boy)
[01:39.83]For a man sometime has to sip of the grape
[01:44.48](A man drinks you know)
[01:45.73]Or cast his eye on a lovely shape (and a man flirts)
[01:51.30]And then sometime a wager desire (a man bets)
[01:55.62]If a man says he don’t, he’s not a man he’s a liar
[02:01.23]So don’t let yourself be sad
[02:04.48]If what looks good is bad
[02:07.27]I’ll reach out and accept the things that bring you joy
[02:12.65]A man has got to live
[02:14.99]Even stealers make you give
[02:17.64]That’s a necessary evil
[02:20.47]Absolutely necessary
[02:23.26]A necessary evil, my boy
[02:33.65]
