Artie Kaplan Bensonhurst Blues

(Cm)

(Cm) Bay Parkway wonder
(G) You're such a success
(G) Your pretty secretary
(Cm) She say you are the best

(Fm) Your face always smiling
(Cm) say you sure paid your dues
(G7) But I know inside
(Cm Cm6) You've got the Bensonhurst blues

(Cm) Those custom-made ciggies
(G) that you offer to me
(G) pretend and pretend to care about (Cm) my family

(Fm) And those pictures on your desk
(Cm) All them lies that you abuse
(G) Do they know you suffer froom
(Cm) the Bensonhurst blues

(Cm) Your grandmother's accent
(G) still embarrasses you
(G) You're even ashamed
(Cm) of the French you once knew

(Fm) You're part of the times now
(Cm) Baby you're making the news
(G7) But I know inside
(Cm) It's still Bensonhurst blues

(Fm) But thanks for the lesson
(Cm) Cause the life that I choose
(G7) won't make me feel like living
(Cm) with the Bensonhurst blues

(Fm) And don't, don't try to write me
(Cm6) And don't bother to call
(G - stop)
Cause I'll be in conference
Merry Christmas you all
