Taken from their debut LP, “Just A Gigolo” is the first single from new wave project Barbie & The Kens.
Written and produced by Bobby O, the single was a minor college radio hit, even managing to peak at #45 on the Billboard Club Play charts in 1981.
[Intro]
Yay!
[Verse 1]
Uptight, I don't feel right
I need some money to go out tonight
[Chorus]
I'm just a gigolo
Uh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
[Verse 2]
Buy me a car, pay my rent
Because my lovin' is heaven sent
[Chorus]
I'm just a gigolo
Uh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
I'm just a gigolo
Uh-uh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
[Verse 3]
Buy me things, buy me clothes
Buy me powder for my nose
[Chorus]
I'm just a gigolo
Uh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
I'm just a gigolo
Oh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
[Verse 4]
Hey, come on, baby, buy me fancy things
Come on, baby, baby
Pay for my rings
Buy me shirts, buy me pants
Buy me socks, buy me that
[Verse 5]
Buy me everything I want
Buy me everything I need
Buy me money, give me money
Give me everything I needed
[Chorus]
Gigolo
'Cause I'm just a g-g-gigolo
I'm just a gigolo
Oh-oh-oh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
Gigolo
Oh-oh-oh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
Just a gigolo
Oh-oh, I'm just a g-g-gigolo
