lyrics

Newspaper boy:
"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Scarface Al Capone Put Behind Bars ! Extra! Extra!"

Inspector Elliot Ness bore someone in mind
Wanted to trace a swollen head-kind
He didn't sleep a wink but kept his eyes able
And planned to shout Al Capone's head off
To turn the table

Al received that message from the horse's mouth
Laughed Elliot's head off, and called his aunt
Who ran a comb through the police hair with opera-playbills
His untouchables fought tooth and nail
To turn the tables

But Al kept some money for a rainy day
To lure Elliot into a trap nonfair play
Because Al and the jury were on the same boat
Still the untouchables cleared the entire road

Capo: "You stole that large, Tonio?"
Tonio: "So what? It's a grand and I'm not pinched."
Capo: "Then pay tribute to the don, you rat."
Tonio: "But I want some juice too!"
Capo: "Juice is only paid to the administration, wise guy."
Tonio: "Don't look me through the eye, outfit!"
Capo: "And you're an empty suit!"
Tonio: "Loan shark! Take a slice of this piece!"
Capo: "Capone! He's a meat eater!"
