A Gay Caballero by Frank Crumit Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a gay caballero
Coming from Rio Janeiro
With nice oily hair and full of hot air
I'm an expert at shooting the bullo!

I'm seeking a fair senorita
Not thin and yet not too much meata!
I'll woo her a while in my Argentine style
I'll carry her off of her feet-a!

[Verse 2]
I'll tell her I'm of the nobilio
And live in the great big castillio
I must have a miss who long for a kiss;
She'll not say "Oh don't be so silly-o!"

'Twas at a swell cabaretta
While wining and dining I met her
We drank one or two as other folks do;
The night was wet but she got wetter!
[Verse 3]
She told me her name was Estrella
She said "Stick around me young fella!"
Mosquitoes they bite and they're awful tonight
And you smell just like citronella!"

Oh I can't forget that senora;
While telling her how I adore her
Asleep she did fall, didn't mind that at all
But she was a terrible snorer!

[Verse 4]
She was a dancer and singer
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 up on her balcony
While under her spell, I heard someone yell
"Get away from here you big baloney!"

[Verse 5]
I swore I'd win this senorita
I wooed her upon 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 Janeiro
Minus my hair, a bruise here and there
For her husband, he chewed off my ear-o!
