Oscar Benton - Bensonhurst Blues

Bay Parkway wonder

You're such a success

Your pretty secretary, ha

She say you are the best

Your face always smiling

Say you sure paid your dues

But I know inside

You've got the Bensonhurst blues

Those custom-made ciggies

That you offer to me

Pretend and pretending

To care about my family

And those pictures on your desk

All them lies that you abuse

Do they know you suffer

From the Bensonhurst blues

Bu-bui-bui-bui-bui-bui…

Your grandmother's accent

Still embarrasses you

You're even ashamed

Of the French you once knew

You're part of the chance now

Baby you're making the news

But I know inside

You've got the Bensonhurst blues

But thanks for the lesson

'Cause the life that I choose

Won't make me feel like living

With the Bensonhurst blues

And don't, don't try to write me

And don't bother to call

'Cause I'll be in conference

Merry Christmas you all

Bu-bui-bui-bui-bui-bui…
