Just A Gigolo (05-17-45) - Louis Prima

'Twas in a Paris cafe at first I found him

He was a Frenchman, a hero of the war

But war was over and here’s how peace had crowned him

'Twas in a Paris cafe at first I found him

He was a Frenchman, a hero of the war

But war was over and here’s how peace had crowned him

Of which he’d medals to wear and nothing more

Now, every night in the same cafe he shows up

And as he strolls by, ladies hear him say

If you admire me, hire me

A gigolo who knew a better day

Just a gigolo, everywhere I go

People know the part I’m playing

Paid for every dance, selling each romance

Every night some heart betraying

There will come a day, youth will pass away

Then what will they say about me

When the end comes I know they’ll say

«Just a gigolo,» as life goes on without me
