WARNING: This is a massively re-arranged cheatsheet here
Many lyric and chord changes particularly at the end incorporating
Some things from different historical versions, but with the
primary hat being off to the David Lee Roth version throughout.

"Just a Gigolo" is a popular song, adapted by Irving Caesar
in 1929 from the Austrian tango "Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo"
composed in 1928 in Vienna by Leonello Casucci
to lyrics written in 1924 by Julius Brammer

"I Ain't Got Nobody" (sometimes referred to as "I'm So Sad and Lonely")
is a popular song copyrighted in 1915.
Roger A. Graham (1885–1938) wrote the lyrics
Spencer Williams composed it.

David Lee Roth gets the main credit here
because if not for good ol' Dave I'd have never heard of it,

The mashup was originally done by Louis Prima - and it is fantastic.

Louis Armstrong also did a great sloppy sleazy version.
