Now, as for my aunt | |
Who told on me | |
She was always wearing her turbans | |
Sailing back to Greece on the Normandy | |
Having dinner at the captain's table | |
Sitting on the deck with 5 men surrounding her | |
With uncle Sam in the back row | |
Back at home, riding up the Taygetus on a donkey named David | |
With her soft leather boots dangling off to the side | |
So full of pride | |
So full of pride. | |
Profitis Elias, so high you can see us | |
4823 22nd St., standing there with cashmere overcoats | |
And those turbans with their Arabian silver | |
And ostrich and papagou feather hats | |
And not far down from our koumbaros Betinis | |
We've got a secret between us Betinis | |
In the back of the Hawthorne smoke shop | |
In the basement of the hat factory | |
The fedoras got glued together | |
But in that back basement... | |
In that back basement, a lot of things got sewn up! | |
A full compliment of grinchy Italians | |
Counting up on their stubby fingers, and smoking, I'm told | |
The least sophisticated cigars | |
The local lottery and so forth | |
Like anybody was going to get a nit out of that nut | |
Though what a lucky loser is our five thousand dollars a day friend and koumbaros Betinis | |
We've got a secret between us, Betinis | |
In the back of the Hawthorne smoke shop, | |
Haberdashery was the least of it | |
In the basement of the hat factory | |
The fedoras got glued together | |
But in that back basement... | |
In that back basement, a lot of things got sewn up | |
We've got a secret between us, Betinis. | |
Five thousand dollars a day | |
Five thousand dollars a day | |
Five thousand dollars a day | |
Five thousand dollars a day | |
In the basement of the hat factory | |
The fedoras got glued together | |
But in that back basement | |
In that back basement, a lot of things got sewn up! | |
We've got a secret between us, Betinis | |
Not that nobody knows, like nobody knows about the white doves that flew out the cake at the brother's wedding | |
In your hat factory, Betinis, they count up all the buffalo nickels | |
And silver certificates wrung from Lake Superior spirits | |
And prize fight foolery, and sluts speaking easy in the closets on 12th St. | |
And in exchange you put in your pants $5,000 a day to stick under your bed for starters | |
But later in the laundry, so you can feel free to chase your wife around the table | |
When you feel she looked at the apricot and boysenberry boy twice |
