Lyrics
Verse 1]
Boot, the whiskered Don, they say
Once ran the alleys in his heyday
No teeth, just gums, a wheezy rasp,
A mobster past you couldn't surpass.
Cement boots? His favorite toy,
Dumped in the river, no chance for a buoy.
[Verse 2]
Shadowy meetings, deals made in fur,
Boot on his throne, a menacing purr.
Milk was his whisky, catnip his smoke,
Enemies trembled, till the asthma awoke.
Hacking and coughing, the old Don would reel,
Power slipping, a fate he couldn't conceal.
[Chorus]
Oh, Boot, Boot, the king of the night,
Faded glory, gasping for the light.
His wheezing a dirge, a raspy refrain,
The mobster with nine lives, fading in pain.
With a Yiddish lament, and a bluesy moan,
His story unfolds, chilling to the bone.
[Verse 3]
Flea-bitten rivals start closin' in,
The wheezy old kingpin, his reign growing thin.
A tabby named Tiny, with eyes cold as steel,
Challenges Boot, aiming for the heel.
A brawl in the fish yard, fur flying free,
Boot's claws are dull, age wins the decree.
[Verse 4]
Whispers in doorways, a power so frail,
Boot stumbles home, dragging a hairless tail.
His throne now a dumpster, crown a tin can,
The alley echoes with a pitiful plan.
One final heist, the old fire returns,
One last stand, as the dumpster fire burns.
[Chorus]
Oh, Boot, Boot, the king of the night,
Faded glory, gasping for the light.
His wheezing a dirge, a raspy refrain,
The mobster with nine lives, fading in pain.
With a Yiddish lament, and a bluesy moan,
His story unfolds, chilling to the bone.
as the dumpster fire burns.
Oh, Boot, Boot, the king of the night,
Faded glory, gasping for the light.
His wheezing a dirge, a raspy refrain,
The mobster with nine lives, fading in pain.
With a Yiddish lament, and a bluesy moan,
His story unfolds, chilling to the bone.
In backroom deals, Boot held his domain,
Victory secured, respect was his gain.
His council of whiskers, with loyalty true,
The family was tight, as empires they grew.
His legacy sealed, in whispers and lore,
The fat whiskered Don, forevermore.
