Ain’t Got No Gal In This Town Cab Calloway
"Ain’t Got No Gal In This Town" by Cab Calloway is a jazz song from 1931. The lyrics express loneliness and longing for companionship in a town devoid of romantic prospects. With its upbeat tempo and Calloway's signature scat singing, the song captures the vibrant spirit of the Harlem Renaissance. Its playful yet poignant themes resonate with the era's social dynamics. #Jazz

Poor me, I ain't got a gal in this town
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Eee-eee-eee...
All yellows and browns
All of them turned me down
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
Boo-hoo, you hear my mournful wail
I even looked in jail
For a familiar frail
Oooh-doo, you, you, you got me down
Stop your dragging me 'round
'Cause I ain't got a gal in this town
I've got a million gals in Memphis
I've got a gal way out in Saint Paul
I took my hat and left them flat
'Cause they couldn't kick the gong
