[Verse 1]
Jesse James and Frank James
Billy Kid, all the rest
Supposed to be some bad cats
Out in the West
But when they dug me
And my gangster ways
They hung up their guns
And made it to their graves
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the gangster of love
Girl, in the morning, gangster of love
When I walk down the street
All the girls that I meet
Say "He's the gangster of love"
[Verse 2]
I robbed the local beauty contest
Of their first-place winner
They found us out in Hollywood
Eating a cheap hamburger dinner
They tried to get her to come back
To pick up her prize
She jumped up and holled
"You just don't realize
[Chorus]
That he's the gangster of love"
Girl, in the morning, gangster of love, ooh!
When we walk in a bar
Girls from near and far
Say "He's the gangster of love"
Yeah, listen, baby!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I jump in my white horse, Cadillac
Race across the border line
Rope 65 women
Kiss them all at the same time
Take 25 or 30
Put 'em all in a freight
A million-dollar reward for me
Each and every state
Sheriff says to me
"Is you Sam the Sham?"
I say "Yes sir, brother, boss
And that's your wife on the back of my horse"
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm the gangster of love
Girl, in the morning, gangster of love
When we walk down the street
All the girls that we meet
Say "He's the gangster of love"
