Just a Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody
Keely Smith & Louis Prima Lyrics

I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go People know the part I'm playing Paid for every dance, selling each romance Ooh, and they're sayin'
I'm a gigolo; my profession is widely known, and people expect me to provide them with entertainment and romance in exchange for money.

There will come a day when youth will pass away What will they say about me? When the end comes, I know They was just the gigolos Life goes on without me
One day, I'll grow old and pass away, and people will reflect upon my life. They'll realize that I was just a gigolo, and even after I'm gone, life will continue without me.

I ain't got nobody Nobody cares for me Nobody 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
I don't have anyone to care for or comfort me, which makes me very sad and lonely. I hope a kind woman will give me a chance, as I'm not such a terrible person.

An' I'll sing her sweet love songs All of the time She will only be, only be Bip boz dee, boze dee, bop, biddly bop
If a woman takes a chance on me, I promise to sing her songs of love and devotion, with catchy, rhythmic tunes.

Humala bebuhla zeebuhla boobuhla Humala bebuhla zeebuhla bop
These lines have no real meaning, but they fit the song's jazzy rhythm and help to express the singer's feelings of loneliness and frustration.

I ain't got nobody Nobody cares for me Nobody cares for me I'm so sad and lonely Oh lonely, oh lonely, lonely, lonely Won't some sweet mama, come and rescue me 'Cause I ain't so bad
Once again, I'm expressing my deep sadness and loneliness, and pleading with a woman to rescue me from my misery. However, I also want her to know that I'm not as bad as I may seem at first glance.

An' I'll sing her sweet love songs All of the time She will only be, only, only, only Only, only, only, only be Baby, c'mon sugar, darling
In case there was any doubt, I repeat my promise to serenade and adore the woman who might give me a chance. I urge her to come to me and be my sweet love.

Ain't got nobody, baby There's nobody (nobody) There's nobody (nobody) There's nobody (nobody) There's nobody (nobody) There's no one (no one) There's no one (no one) Loot de loot (loot de loot) Dolly dolly (dolly dolly) Gernish gernish (gernish gernish) Stot say da wool (stot say da wool) Over den (over den) Nobody (nobody) No, no one (no, no one) Nobody (nobody) Nobody (nobody) Nobody (nobody) Nobody (nobody) Nobody cares for me
These nonsensical phrases and sounds are once again meant to convey the singer's frustration and loneliness. Despite his hopeful pleas for love and companionship, he is still completely alone and uncared for.
