[Verse 1]

If you've got the looks and if you've got the goods

I suppose you can make it anywhere you wanna get made

And you wanna get made

My model agent says you gots to get paid

You've got a special gift, you can't just give it away for free

Don't give it up for free


[Pre-Chorus]

And when my daddy calls

Asking how it's going

On them streets

All I can say is


[Chorus]

I'm not exactly a salesman

Sure, there's a product I'm selling

Guess you can say I'm an actor

But acting's not what they're after, no, not quite


[Verse 2]

Certain services are popular here

More popular than my acting or my modeling career

This city has quite the service industry

Small town Adonis hits the Metropolis

Brought down to his knees


[Refrain]

Guess I'm a so-so gigolo

So-so gigolo

Every audition my agent commissions

Isn't so much an audition so much as a job

I guess a job's a job

I thought if they just saw how bad I wanted the part

At the very least they'd have to take pity on me

Pity, a word this city's never heard


[Refrain]

So-so gigolo

So-so gigolo

So-so gigolo

So-so gigolo


[Chorus]

(So-so gigolo) I'm not exactly a salesman

Sure there's a product I'm selling

(So-so gigolo) Guess you can say I'm an actor

Though acting's not what they're after
