From the album: “Confessions Of A Male Chauvinist Pig“ Hopi Records -1972 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 Wit
