When I heard the Ladies' Man was dead I saw the rolling stone stopped moving Saw my ancient hero on the Sunset Strip He left behind a legacy of ruin Now painted ladies want to hold my gun Wonder if the whole time I'd been acting When I sang "Moon River" in that silent film Had I really made a sound when they called action? I swear that man was womankind's first husband They all died in a line to save him I'm a steady hand, I'm a Dodger's fan I'm a leading brand, I'm one-night stand I'm a Ladies' Man Oh, only son of the Ladies' Man Oh, only son of the Ladies' Man Couldn't see his used-up body at the funeral By virtue of the flailing of his conquests They tied down his casket with the garter belt Each troubled heart was beating in a sequin dress Someone must console these lonesome daughters No written word or ballad will appease them The cowboy and the cop shot down the Ladies' Man The humid nights in LA are now silence I swear that man was womankind's first husband Only son of the Ladies' Man Only son of the Ladies' Man Only son of the Ladies' Man
