Life imitates the game of chess |
|
You can be the rook or the pawn |
|
But if you have the strategy that's best |
|
You can be the King or in this case the Don |
|
It's easy to get knocked out of the game |
|
Depending on which way you want to play |
|
You've got to have eyes on the back of your head |
|
Now that we have that out of the way |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Rev up the Lincoln |
|
And let's get to drinking some caffeino |
|
Let's go to Nicolletis |
|
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce |
|
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life |
|
I'll talk any flick with Al Pacino |
|
I'm a man of respect and I prefer to be addressed as Padrino |
|
If you're the type that likes to spill the beans |
|
You could be a stone in someone's shoe |
|
You'll receive a kiss on each cheek |
|
And then you'll know that pretty soon the stone will be removed |
|
Everyone knows that crime doesn't pay |
|
It doesn't pay the taxes away |
|
You've got to be slick if you don't want it to stick |
|
Now that we have that out of the way |
|
I know it's not a wise thing to do |
|
Writing funny songs about the mob |
|
But if it's all the same to you |
|
I don't see it as a gang but a club |
|
Where men sit like gentlemen |
|
Plotting their events about |
|
Things I shouldn't understand, comprehend or care |
|
Like...oh, I don't know maybe I shouldn't go there |
|
After all it is a family affair |
|
Stay out of the papers |
|
Don't get caught |
|
Leave the singing to Sinatra and always keep your big trap shut |
|
Capice? |
|
The underworld is like an undertow - If you don't respect it |
|
It will surely bring you down - When you least expect it - |
|
Hey expect it from all sides |
|
Once you're in it it's for life |
|
Don't be famous be infamous and you will live to see another day |
|
Be wise about with whom you discuss |
|
Now that we have that out of the way |
