Hanging  Fmoff the curb, looking all disturbed
At the  Gmboys from home, they all came running

Wearing  Fmpadded bras sucking beers through straws
Dropping  Gmdown their drawers, where did you get yours?

[Intro]

C D C D

Em Em Em Em

[Verse]

(Who who who who…) Whose that gigolo on the street?

With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet

Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed

At the boys from home, they all came running

They were making noise, manhandling toys

That's the girls on the block with the nasty curls

Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws

Dropping down their drawers, where did you get yours?

Gigolo, Huh, sucker. Gigolo. Gigolo, Huh, sucker

[Pre-Chorus]

Whose looking good today?

Whose looking good in every way?

No style rookie

You better watch don't mess with me

D7 Eb7 E7 F7

[Chorus]

No moneyman can win my love

We always hang in a Buffalo Stance

We do the dive every time we dance

I'll give you love baby not romance

I'll make a move nothing left to chance

D7 Eb7 E7 F7

So don't you get fresh with me

Get funky. Yeah Timmy. Tell it like it is. (Check out this DJ)

But you had to have style get a gold tooth smile

Committed a crime and went inside

It was coming your way but you had to survive

When you lost your babe, you lost the race

Now you're looking at me to take her place
