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
