MADE GUYS

Says Punchinello to Pinocchio

(who's trying to take over the action:)

"one of us has got to go

and it ain't me see, Pinocchio."

 

But Pinocchio, a made guy now

with bodyguards and all that jazz

says "i'm the number one, so scram!"

 

Then Mr.Punch pulls out a pistol -

blam blam, raspberry jam

turns on his heel and says to the crowd

"i'm not the guy you think I am."
