Once in lemon scented Palermo A danger lurks in the garden A dark and sinister creed Who lives for money and greed And is bound by an oath of loyalty A murderous secret society We are many yet we are few We are evil but we are you We're the best with many heads We're the nightmare in your beds We've got lawyers, judges, bankers, soldiers too I am beautiful and I am bold I'm a killer and I am cold Just remember when we meet I have toothache be discreet Or you'll end up lying, dying in the street Chorus Oh, you men of honour Oh, you men of class Behold, you men of honour If you don't play the game You will live a life of shame And you'll feel the wrath of mafia tyranny Bernadino, what a hero A socialist like Sicily's never seen With his peasant federation He attacked our very nation 'til we ran him down and shot him in the spleen Mussolini, fascist bastard! A scum bag of right wing tyranny He very nearly had us With his leather and his blackshirts 'til the yanks delivered us 'liberty' Chorus Joe Bananas, Americanos Sicilian by birth through and through Narcotics we control We destroy your very soul And we'll kill you if you turn the other way Luciano, he's the capo di capo And you should live in fear When you're lying in your bed He will shoot you in your head He's a crazy motherfucker, he's insane Chorus So here's a warning to all of Italy You cut our throats? Be prepared for what you see For the smell of mafia has a lure To the rich, the powerful and the poor And the blood that will flow from our veins Won't wash away all your shame Chorus |
