You might say I'm funny but I'm furious
You'd better tell me how
When I tell an anecdote you laugh like I'm a clown
I will kill you now

It was all that I could take, that stupid mook
Telling me he wants a shine
How was I supposed to know that he was a made man
As my shiv was raging

Oh the cops are coming so I got to scram now
It's the Pesci principle oh oh ohh
It's the principle of Pesci ohh
It's the Pesci principle oh oh

It's you who wants to take a dive in number three
You took a bribe from that big fellow Maxie
I'm not here to bleed your recent injuries
You wanted me to punch you

You're a lot of fun on the domestic scene
Though not the worst time, you're getting there
Where'd you get the notion me and Vicki had a session?
Thank you for the fist sandwich

Oh my brother's coming so I really ought to blow
It's the Pesci principle oh oh oh hoo
It's the principle of Pesci ohh ah
It's the Pesci principle oh oh ohh ah

Oh no, Riggs is after me
Baby, he is trippin'
Murtaugh, please get in between him and me
He's a lethal weapon
Don't let him get me baby

It's the principle of Pesci
Oh, oh oh oh ah
It's the Pesci principle, principle
Oh oh oh oh, ah

You might call me cousin Vinny, too
I'm gonna take your case, baby, through the roof
I got too many parts I wanna play, before I say
Hey, gotta quit now baby

It's the Pesci principle
It's the Pesci principle
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey
It's the Pesci principle

Maybe you are home alone
Maybe you are home alone
After all the things I tried to do
What this kid has put me through
Hey hey hey, yeah

Bug me, hey yeah, slug me, yeah
Hoo ooh ooh ooh
It's the Pesci principle
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Oh
