Bensonhurst Blues (1972)

Bensonhurst Blues (Oscar Benton) 1972

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 pretend 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-bu-bu-bue-bue-bue...

Your grandmother's accent 
Still embarrasses you 
You're even ashamed 
Of the French you once knew 
You're part of the chance now 
They break you 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-bu-bu-bue-bue-bue...
