`t Was in a Paris café that I first found him
He was a Frenchman, a hero of the war
But war was over
And here's how peace had crowned him
A few cheap medals to wear and nothing more
Now every night in the same café 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
Oh I'm just a gigolo, and 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
When youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
life goes on without me
'Cause I ain't got nobody
Nobody to care for me
Nobody, nobody to care for me
I'm so sad and lonely
I'm sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama
come and take a chance with me
'Cause I ain't so bad 
No, I'm just a gigolo, and 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
When youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know
They'll say just a gigolo
life goes on without me
'Cause I ain't got nobody
Nobody to care for me
Nobody, nobody to care for me
I'm so sad and lonely
I'm sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama come
