Smash Mouth - Padrino Lyrics
Life imitates the game of chessYou can be the rook or the pawnBut if you have the strategy thats bestYou can be the king or in this case the donIts easy to get knocked out of the gameDepending on which way you want to playYouve got to have eyes on the back of your headNow that we have that out of the wayChorus:Rev up the lincolnAnd lets get to drinking some caffeinoLets go to nicolletisCause he makes a mean spaghetti sauceIm a connoisseur of the finer things in lifeIll talk any flick with al pacinoIm a man of respect and I prefer to be addressed as padrinoIf youre the type that likes to spill the beansYou could be a stone in someones shoeYoull receive a kiss on each cheekAnd then youll know that pretty soon the stone will be removedEveryone knows that crime doesnt payIt doesnt pay the taxes awayYouve got to be slick if you dont want it to stickNow that we have that out of the wayI know its not a wise thing to doWriting funny songs about the mobBut if its all the same to youI dont see it as a gang but a clubWhere men sit like gentlemenPlotting their events aboutThings I shouldnt understand, comprehend or careLike...oh, I dont know maybe I shouldnt go thereAfter all it is a family affairStay out of the papersDont get caughtLeave the singing to sinatra and always keep your big trap shutCapice?The underworld is like an undertow - if you dont respect itIt will surely bring you down - when you least expect it -Hey expect it from all sidesOnce youre in it its for lifeDont be famous be infamous and you will live to see another dayBe wise about with whom you discussNow that we have that out of the way
