Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Q : How does one improve a Simply Red song ? A : Parody it ! This is the only hit of Simply Red's that doesn't make Pippin fall asleep before the end ! Merry hasn't forgiven me for making her listen to it... A low-bitrate mp3 of the song can be found here

To cops sold out
Cement soles bound for river
Loomed my depart
With doomed digits severed
Assure me now...

A new name and home
Just bus me with some dough to ol' Hong Kong
A new name and home
Am willing to learn Greek or Tagalog

"Ti ammazzo..."
Vito's words quite bereave me
Must perform guile
Or Vinny's gonna leave me:
Coshed, cleaved, burned and drowned

Want a new name and home
I'll suffer Timbuktu, Nauru or Nome
A new name and home
I'm bluffing now through life as Mister
Wong � you know
Wong � hello
Wong � no show
Wong � laid low
Out of sight !

Betrayed �em, me blabbed
Now sought "squeal-deal" protection
A su-per grass
Must hi-hi-hide and evade detection
Or be skewered profound!

Now my new game's �Keep mum'
I'm toughing it, no choice but play along
Was insane, was dumb
I'm huffy seein' it's plain it's for lifelong
I became a Nun
Had rough time, sheathed myself into sarong
And I feel so glum
�Cos hunting this man down won't take them
Long oh no
Long oh no
Suff'ring Katmandu, Canberra, Kew or Rome�

(repeat and fade)

Alvin, you're quite welcome here, plenty of space in the middle where no-one would ever find you (or want to try, truth be known). Bring water, it gets a tad hot...
