Текст Smash Mouth – Padrino
Текст:
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
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
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
