Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance, selling each romance
Ooh, and they're sayin'
There will come a day when youth will pass away
What will they say about me?
When the end comes, I know
Life goes on without me
I'm just a gigolo and everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance, selling each romance
Ooh, what they're sayin'
And 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 a gigolo
Life goes on without me, 'cause
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
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
I ain't got nobody
Nobody cares for me
Nobody cares for me
Nobody cares for me
Nobody cares for me
Humala bebuhla zeebuhla boobuhla
Humala bebuhla zeebuhla bop
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
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
Ain't got nobody, baby
There's nobody (nobody)

Louis Prima's song "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" is a melancholic and humorous tune that describes the life of a gigolo who is down on his luck. The lyrics express the reality of being a gigolo and the notion that the youth will soon pass, and he will be left with nothing but an empty existence. The lyrics also mention that the gigolo is selling every dance and romance but is still lonely and sad; he is longing for someone to rescue him.
In the first verse, the gigolo acknowledges that he is just playing a role that people know wherever he goes. He is paid for his dance and every romance he sells. It's as if he is a puppet-master, controlling his audience's desires, and they are willing to pay him for the temporary pleasure he provides. In the second verse, the gigolo repeats the same lyrics, but the difference is that he recognizes that one day, youth will pass away, and no one will remember what he has done. He will be left with nothing but a memory.
In the chorus, the gigolo talks about being sad and lonely and not having anyone who cares for him. He longs for a sweet mama to come and take a chance with him; he promises to sing her sweet love songs all the time. The chorus further repeats the gigolo's loneliness - there's nobody to care for him.
Overall, the song "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody'' is a sad story of a gigolo who is down on his luck, lonely, and looking for someone who will rescue him from his sad existence.

Sigh. I do the same thing candace. The lone Wolf lifestyle definitely comes as advertised: lonely 🐺
That’s why sometimes you gotta be easy on yourself. Puff on some hookah, throw on Magic Mike, and just reflect.
There’s 4 types of Gigolos in this world:
