Jo Simon - Mr. Vercotti

Update 2023 neu gemischt und gemastert

Ironischer, leicht nostalgisch angehauchter Song über die "wahre" Mafia. ;-)

Der Charakter Luigi Vercotti taucht zuweilen in mehreren Monty Python Sketches auf und diente hier als Song-Inspiration.

Mr. Vercotti

Hey Luigi
Mr. Luigi Vercotti
How are you today?
There’s nothing much you need to say

Are you thinking about the good old times?
The golden age of honest crime
Today you must get really bored
No offers to refuse anymore

Now that we know, after all
who the real Mafia is
Now that we know, after all
where the real criminal is

Hey Luigi
Mr. Luigi Vercotti
How are you today?
There’s nothing much you need to say

Hey Luigi, what a strange world
The bad is good, the good is bad

Solo1

No code of conduct anymore
No offers to refuse anymore

Solo2

Hey Luigi
Mr. Luigi Vercotti
Where has all your money gone?
The government has won

Now you are sitting there wondering about
the lack of honor in this crazy world
With empty pockets and no more hair
You’ll soon fall down from that garden chair

Hey Luigi, what a strange world
The bad is good, the good is bad
