Cab Calloway

Ain't No Gal in This Town

Cab Calloway


Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town, 
All of them turned me down, 
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town. 

Eee-eee-eee... 
All yellows and browns, 
All of them turned me down, 
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town. 

Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail, 
I even looked in jail, 
For a familiar frail. 

Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down, 
Stop your dragging me 'round, 
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town. 

I've got a million gals in Memphis, 
I've got a gal way out in Saint Paul, 
I took my hat and left them flat 
'Cause they couldn't kick the gong. 

[Repeats first four verses]
