A Gay Caballero

A Gay Caballero - Johnny Desmond

I am a gay caballero

Coming from Rio de Janeiro

With nice oily hair

And full of hot air

I'm an expert at shooting the bull o

I'm seeking a fair senorita

Not thin and yet not too much meat a

I'll woo her a while

In my Argentine style

I'll carry her off of her feet a

I'll tell her I'm of the nobilio

And live in a great big castillio

I must have a miss

Who will long for a kiss

And not say Oh don't be so silly o

It was at a swell cabaretta

While wining and dining I met her

We had one or two

As other folks do

The night was wet but she got wetter

She told me her name was Estrella

She said stick around me young fella

For mosquitoes they bite

And they're awful tonight

And you smell just like citronella

Now she was a dancer and sing a

At me she kept pointing her finger

And saying to me

Si Senor Si Si

But I couldn't see a durn thing a

She told me that she was so lonely

So I climbed upon her balcony

While under her spell

I heard someone yell

Get away from here you big baloney

I swore I'd win this senorita

I woo'ed her on the sofita

Then her husband walked in

What he did was a sin

I can still hear the birds sing Tweet tweet a

Now I am a sad caballero

Returning to Rio de Janeiro

Minus my hair

A bruise here and there

For her husband he chewed off my ear o
