lyrics

THE GODFATHER

My friend, your child could use a purpose,
If you'll really be there when he's born,
If that child ever clambers from the womb,
And if that woman lets him go ...

If he's healthy, you'll be lucky,
Look at the way you use yourself,
You must have had some tangle in your jeans;
Your clothes don't fit you anymore.

You are my friend, let's have some coffee,
Talk about halcyon old days-
Such young turks, such vehement jerks-
Your child won't know anything about that.

My friend, could be the child's your purpose,
Perhaps a second chance for you,
So maybe chill out on the burning,
I'd sure respect that show of will.

Yeah, I'll be that child's godfather,
Go ahead and put me down for that.
But if he comes knocking at my door,
Some night in a Thunderbird storm,

You will be the subject of my wrath.

(c) Damon Norko
