Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody Lyrics
[Part 1: Just a Gigolo]
[Verse 1]
I'm just a gigolo (Gigolo)
And everywhere I go (Gigolo)
People know the part I'm playin' (Gigolo, gigolo, gigolo)
Pay for every dance (Gigolo)
Sellin' each romance (Gigolo)
Oh, what they sayin'? (Gigolo, gigolo, gigolo)
There'll come a day
And youth will pass away
What, what will they say about me?
When the end comes, I know
They'll say "Just a gigolo", as
Life goes on without me
[Verse 2]
I'm just a gigolo (Gigolo)
Everywhere I go (Gigolo)
People know the part I'm playin' (Gigolo, gigolo, gigolo)
Pay for every dance (Gigolo)
Sellin' each romance (Gigolo)
Oh, what they sayin'? (Gigolo, gigolo, gigolo)
And there will come a day
And youth will pass away
Loo-doo-doo-doo-dwup
What will they say about me?
When the end comes, I know
They'll say "Just a gigolo", as
Life goes on without me
'Cause

[Chorus]
I ain't got nobody, oh and there's
Nobody that cares for me, there's
Nobody that cares for me
I'm so sad and lonely
Sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama
Come and take a chance with me?
'Cause I ain't so bad then

And I'll sing her
Sweet love songs
All of the time
She will only be
On-on-on-only be

Oh lonely, oh lonely, lonely, lonely

Come and rescue me?
'Cause I ain't so bad then
[Post-Chorus]
And I'll sing her
Sweet love songs

She will only be
Only-only-only-only-only-only baby

About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Just a Gigolo” was written in 1929 in German, by Leonello Casucci. The lyrics were from the perspective of a former Austrian hussar (cavalry soldiers with dramatic uniforms). In the years since World War I he has found no other way to support himself except as a hired dancer.
It was adapted into English in 1931 and recorded by many artists since, including Bing Crosby.
The “I Ain’t Got Nobody” section of the song was Louis Prima’s addition, combining two songs into one, and this is how the song has usually been performed since.
