Lyrics
I was hangin' on the corner at Caparelli's Deli
With junior with the hairdo and Big Nose Mo
There was Hopalong Casedicci talkin' bout his news shoes
And some other mamaluke that I don't know
When this cute little cupcake rolls up with a Bible
Like a noisy chiacchierone starts her preachin' with her hands
I said "Yo, statazee, enough already wit the Christianese
You're gonna have to say it so a wiseguy understands
So she said
I got good news
For all ah you crooks
Ya get a little sit-down
He'll open the books
You takin' the oath
And then you be
A blood bought member of the family
I got good news
He opened the door
To a one in a million all time score
Ya get straightened out
And here's da plan
Ya gonna get your button
And be a God made man
She said, "Look at you 'Marone'
Your life is full of agita
Your eyes got the malocchio
And your brain is half ubatz
Now the big Capo Upstairs offers forgiveness
And what da devil ever give you?
He gave you ugats
I said "Alright Managia
It's time for spring cleaning"
So we prayed right there that I would be part of the crew
Then I got shaken down by Angels
Whacked by the Holy Ghost
God himself reached down and pulled me out
The peiche a deux
And you know what?
I got good news
For all ah you crooks
Ya get a little sit-down
He'll open the books
Ya takin' the oath
And then you be
A blood bought member of the family
I got good news
He opened the door
To a one in a million all time score
Ya get straightened out
And here's da plan
Ya gonna get your button
And be a God made man
(Now what do I get clipped, become a guest in the government or testify against you know who?)
So I ratted out the devil
Now I'm a witness in protection
With a whole new direction
I want to shout it
I got a new life and a new route
A new name and a new suit
So did he offer me a good deal?
Ay, Forgettaboutit!
I got good news
For all you crooks
You get a little sit-down
He'll open the books
Ya takin' the oath
And then you be
A blood bought member of the family
I got good news
He opened the door
To a one in a million all time score
Ya get straightened out
And here's da plan
You gonna get your button
And be a God made man
