The Lyrics
Like the movie character, the parody character was modeled after real-life mobster Meyer Lansky. DISCLAIMER: Just like the movie, this parody does not reflect on the overwhelming majority of law-abiding citizens of Italian or Jewish descent.
Picture a mob made up all of Sicilians
Las Vegas, they buy casino or two
They don't know squat about odds mathematic
So they must hook up with a Jew
Lower East Side of Manhattan, he's born
Bam! Maranzano is dead
Look at the "guy" who has just become "wise"
And he's made
Corleone's guy was Hyman
Corleone: "Aye, you're my man"
"MafiJew? We'll try it, Hyman"
Mmm.... mmm...
Picture yourself running all of Havana
Batista's your buddy; his palms, you baptize
Suddenly, Castro becomes top banana
Aruba, from Cuba, he flies
Unions of dock workers peer from the shore
Germany's spies, keep away
Gangster and goons find where U-boats are bound
And they're gone
Michael did rely on Hyman
Mobster money guy was Hyman
Later life, quite shy was Hyman
Oy... vey...
Picture a fugitive, fleeing to Israel
Evading your taxes, the Government cries
Quickly deported; surprising, but 'tis real:
Acquitted: informant tells lies?
FBI has eyes on Hyman
Beach (Miami), lies our Hyman
Cancer (lung) he dies, does Hyman
Cough... cough...
Inspired by Kristof Robertson's comment that "Hyman" was a cool word to use in a parody.... at least, I think that's what he said. © 2007 Tommy Turtle. All rights reserved.

I agree with alvin's Gertrude Stein'ish take on this.. very well done... And I hope for his sake that Hymen's middle name wasn't Dumblecorleone...
Boy TT, you are living some kind of dangerously like in "Johnny". Best be keepin' an eye out for old Don Carmine or his boys. I'm going to have to call this one "lousy" since the last time I said something good about what 2-Loud thought was bad and didn't like, I received three broken fingers and was forced to write a dictated comment. He promises to break an arm next time. So I'm votin' three aces on this one. Sorry.
Psst - (whispers) hey TT - I actually voted you 5's but two loud won't know since he quit school in the 3rd grade at the age of 15. His father was in 4th and he didn't want to pass him up so he is not too good with numbers. The only number he can recognize is two since it is in his nickname so I think I'm safe voting you 5s since he doesn't see any two votes on your parody he probably thinks all those 5s are really 1s. Gotta go before Don B. gets back here and makes good on that promise of an arm break. Laters.
Someday... and that day may never come... you will have received so many fives from me, that your enemies will become my enemies. And then... they will fear you. Come to think of it, "The Turtle" does sound like a mob nickname.
I don't know what the heck happened to my replies -- I'm sure I thanked all (huh? Not sure of my own name anymore) but it looks like the Comment Monster ate them.
alvin, AFW, Kristof, Don B, TJC, Guy, (psst! thanks!) and Mike TF (does't that mean something different these days?) --- thanks, all.
