Lyrics
SWING THAT KADDISH
©2007 polar levine--sine language music/BMI
Piss out a window, late afternoon?Jailbirds high over sleepy lagoon?Cigar in my coffee and my little tin spoon?oh oh oh goin' down?Paperclip tieclasp, rusty but firm?Loose-fitting jockeyshorts yellow with sperm?Take-out chop suey goes down like a worm?Oh oh oh goin' down
CHORUS: Oh Mama, Mommy let me come home?
I won't steal your jewelry no more?
Take me home?
My deal's goin' down?
And it ain't goin' slow?
Swing that Kaddish, baby?
Sweet and low
Slo gin canasta in a smokey room?Some good ol' Jewboys... prophets of doom?Sophie on the carpet circumsizing the groom.?oh oh oh goin' down?Little Joe Donsky with the broadloom crown?Sleeps with the fishes in a concrete gown?I'm waitin' for some cash from The Fat Man uptown?Oh oh oh goin' down
CHORUS: Oh Mama, Mommy let me come home?
I won't steal your jewelry no more?
Take me home?
My deal's goin' down?
And it ain't goin' slow?
Swing that Kaddish, baby?
Sweet and low
You got Frankie and Dorsey...?The great hits from the past?Tito Rodriguez and Bird playin' fast?That damn rock n roll, it'll never last?Oh oh oh goin' down
CHORUS
