The Lyrics

Inspired by Tim's If I were a hit man, where he imagines Fiddler on the Roof performed by the Mob...
[Giancarlo:]
We need this guy to be dealt with
Some people need to be taught a lesson

[Luigi:]
Some-a people need to learn-a da respect

[Giancarlo:]
Just a beating----

[Luigi:]
Bits-a cut off----

[Giancarlo:]
Or bumped off---

Godfather, Godfather,
Order a hit
I need this guy
Roughed up a bit
Godfather, Godfather
Send in the goons
And make it a perfect hit

[Luigi:]
Godfather, Godfather,
I'll bring a gun
You send a goon,
Won't it be fun
Some heavyweight backup: I'm longing to be,
Respected by all I see.

[Giancarlo:]
He owes me
Well, nearly a dollar

[Luigi:]
He owes ME
But what, I ain't checked

[Luigi and Giancarlo:]
You know well,
It has to foller
That he has to pay us a bit-a respect

Godfather, Godfather,
He's gotta die
Break-a his legs
Waste-a da guy
Pull out his fingernails one after one
Then blow him away
With a gun

(spoken)

[Uncle Felipe:]
Since when do you want a hit, Luigi? I thought you wanted nudding to do wit-a da Family.

(Giancarlo chuckles)

[Uncle Felipe con't:]
And you want a hit on the Rabbi's son.

[Giancarlo:]
Well, why not?
There is only one Rabbi and he has only one son.
And we're Catholic.

[Uncle Felipe:]
And you are a boy from-a da Family.
So you'll go along with whatever Don Ameche decides?
Of course-a right!

(Puts marshmallows into his cheeks, imitating Don Ameche)
(singing)

Carlo, oh Carlo,
What-a you asking me to do?
To bump off this guy
Keell-a him, just-a for you
He's not-a nice man, you no like-a him, true?
True.

A-crossing da Family,
Is bad-a for your health
But if you want-a da hit---
Do it yourself

Luigi, I know him.
Won't-a you please tell-a me why
This unlucky man
Why he have-a to die?
He's a nasty man, a badda egg, right?
Right.

But you are my Family
From the seed-a I have sown
So if you want-a him dead
Do eet on-a your own

Did you think you'd get a hit?
Well you do the best-a you can.
With-a your guns, your flickknives, your Family background
Go kill yourself a man!

[Luigi:]
Godfather, Godfather,
You know that I'm
Still very young.
Too young for crime

[Giancarlo:]
Up to this minute,
I misunderstood
My hands might be wet with blood

[Luigi and Giancarlo:]
Don Ameche
We understand fully
The mess we're
Gonna be in
We're not just
A cold-hearted bully

[Luigi and Giancarlo and Uncle Felipe:]
And if the cops see what we've done to him...

Godfather, Godfather,
Hit me no hits
We're running scared
We got the shits
Playing with matches
A guy can get burned
So,
Kill me no kills
Stiff me no stiffs
Hit me no hits
Fry me no guy
(I guess he don't really
have to die)
...anyone want to follow this with the "No Bottle Dance"?

You have come to me, and you have shown the proper respect. Five times over. And your parody subjects will become my parody subjects. And then... they will fear you. And we will laugh with you.
