Smash Mouth Padrino song lyrics
Smash Mouth Padrino song lyrics
Life imitates the game of chess
You can be the rook or a pawn
But 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 wanna 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 let's get to drinking some caffeino
Caffeino
Let's go to Nicolettis
'Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
I'm a connoissuer 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
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
And 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 to stick
Now that we have that out of the way
Rev up the Lincoln
And let's get to drinking some caffeino
Caffeino
Let's go to Nicolettis
'Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
I'm a connoissuer 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
Padrino
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
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 it
Hey, expect it from all sides
Once you're in it is 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
Rev up the Lincoln
And let's get to drinking some caffeino
Caffeino
Let's go to Nicolettis
'Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
I'm a connoissuer 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
Padrino
I'm a man of respect
And I prefer to be addressed as Padrino
Padrino
I'm a man of respect
And I prefer to be addressed
As Padrino
