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 Were the best with many heads Were the nightmare in your beds Weve got lawyers, judges, bankers, soldiers too I am beautiful and I am bold Im a k**er and I am cold Just remember when we meet I have toothache be discreet Or youll end up lying, dying in the street Chorus Oh, you men of honour Oh, you men of cla** Behold, you men of honour If you dont play the game You will live a life of shame And youll feel the wrath of mafia tyranny Bernadino, what a hero A socialist like Sicilys never seen With his peasant federation He attacked our very nation til we ran him down and shot him in the spleen Mussolini, fascist ba*tard! 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 well k** you if you turn the other way Luciano, hes the capo di capo And you should live in fear When youre lying in your bed He will shoot you in your head Hes a crazy motherf**er, hes insane Chorus So heres 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 Wont wash away all your shame Chorus
