I knew a man once
Very long ago
They say that he was born in Buffalo-
But I don't believe it:
Buffalo was never sufficiently gilded and pearled
And this man turned out to be
The playboy of the western world
Oh, he was elegant past all dreaming;
He made seeming seem like the real McCoy
All the sheiks of Araby, all the shahs of Persia
Couldn’t hold a candle to this boy
When he walked through a room
It looked as handsome as Napoleon’s tomb
And the Ford he rode
Could have been Mercedes-Benz à la mode
When he took me out I didn’t doubt
That we were going to the Astor or the Sherry-Netherland
Spring seemed to linger
In the little bunch of flowers he pressed into my hand -
Little bunch of flowers, didn’t cost a dime
Picked them in the park in their prime
He went around with his heart unfurled:
The one and only playboy of the western world
You could fall in love with everyone you’d meet
When you walked with him down the street
Playboys die young; this one did too
All worn out making dreams come true
And the world was grim again, without him again
Without him -
For he was elegant past all dreaming;
He made seeming seem like the real McCoy
All the sheiks of Araby, all the shahs of Persia
Couldn’t hold a candle to this boy
When they took him out, oh, I didn’t doubt
That we were going- he was going to Miami or some other wonderland
Spring seemed to linger
In the little bunch of flowers I pressed into his hand -
Little bunch of flowers, didn’t cost a dime
Picked them in the park in their prime
He went around with his heart unfurled:
The one and only playboy of the western world
He was the playboy of the western world
The playboy of the western world
