El Rey Del Cabaret

He was a slick and arrogant guy
Styled like a star and slicked back
Who had the ladies all wrapped around
Begging for a line of love
They called him the king of the dance hall
And any woman who passed by him
In his pampered arms would fall
Without any effort at all

King of cabaret
Heartless king
The women lost you
With their clumsy adoration
King of cabaret
You live without love
And a shadow of pain
Always passes through your soul

But finally, he crossed paths
With a strong woman of great resolve
Whose beauty didn’t control him
And she was the one who avenged them all
The heat of her fiery mark
Turned his whim into affection
And that old man cried like a child
Begging for a line of love

King of cabaret
How do you love her?
Why are you pretending
When you can’t forget her?
King of cabaret
You suffer for love
And today you feel in your wounded soul
The stings of pain
