When I heard the ladiesman 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

And 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 of a one night stand
I'm a ladiesman


Ooh, only son of the ladiesman
Ooh, only son of the ladiesman


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 ladiesman

The humid nights in LA are now silence

I swear that man was womankind's first husband


Only son of the ladiesman
Only son of the ladiesman

Only son of the ladiesman
