Lyrics:
Bay Parkway wonder
You're such a success
Your pretty secretary
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

And 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
The Bensonhurst blues

And your grandmother's accent
Still embarrasses you
And you're even ashamed
Of the friends you once knew

When you're part of the Times now
Baby you making the news
But I know inside
Is still got Bensonhurst blues

And thanks for the lesson
Cause the life that I choose
Well i won't make me feel 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
