Smash Mouth - Padrino lyrics

rate me

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

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

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
