Chump Change Romeo
Rick Nelson · The Last Time Around 1970 - 1982 [2010]
Watch this small town Cassanova work his show
And he's just a gigolo.
Times are tough that's what the TV says
Romeo you know, he still works out okay, yeah
He puts on the trousers, oh so tight
Then he goes out searchin' for women in the night.
Hello chump change Romeo
Watch this small town Cassanova work his show
And he's just a gigolo.
And the ladies give out all they've got
Romeo you know, he's got to have a lot, yeah
And he knows just when and where and what to touch
And he knows that you never can touch to much.
Hello chump change Romeo
Watch this small town Cassanova work his show
And he's just a gigolo
Just a chump change Romeo.
He's changed his chump
But he never stays in a slump
And his mind's on fire
And it's burnin' up with desire.
He's just a chump, change Romeo.
He's just a chump, change Romeo.
He's just a chump, change Romeo...
