Life imitates the game of chess
|
You can be the rook or the pawn
|
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 in the back of your head
|
Now that we have that out of the way
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Rev up the Lincoln
|
And lets get to drinking some caffeino
|
Lets go to nicolettis
|
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
|
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
|
I'll take 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
|
Then you'll know that pretty soon the stone will be removed
|
Everyone knows that crime does not pay
|
It doesn't pay the taxes anyway
|
You've got to be slick if you don't want it to stick
|
Now that we have that out of the way
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
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 -
|
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
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
