Bensonhurst Blues ~~ Oscar Benton

 

Bay Parkway wonder You"re such a success          Your pretty secretary, ha She say you are the best         Your face always smiling say you sure paid your dues          But I know inside You"ve got the Bensonhurst blues         Those custom-made ciggies that you offer to me pretend         and pretend to care about my family         And those pictures on your desk All them lies that you abuse         Do they know you suffer from the Bensonhurst blues        Your grandmother"s accent still embarrasses you        You"re even ashamed of the French you once knew        You"re part of the chance now They break you making the news        But I know inside you"ve got the Bensonhurst blues         But thanks for the lesson Cause the life that I choose         won"t make me feel like living with the Bensonhurst blues         And don"t, don"t try to write me And don"t bother to call         Cause I"ll be in conference Merry Christmas you all
