Benny was a bigshot.
He was an ice cold mother in love with what he should not.
He thought he had a getaway.
He thought a quick trigger finger could sub for what he had to pay.
Leo wasn’t overpaid.
He was a lowdown snitch hopin’ someday he would have it made.
And Benny was the big boss.
Sittin’ on top of the world just waitin’ to get knocked off.
The Feds were workin’ overtime.
They were 24/7 tapped in on Benny’ phone line.
But nothin’ seemed to ever stick
cause he’d bought off all the Judges; the D.A. was a dirty prick.
Yeah Benny was a bigshot.
He was an ice cold mother in love with what he should not.
Sally was his second wife.
And man did she hate Benny cause he fucked up her whole damn life.
She wished that she could pay him back.
Yeah maybe even lay him flat.
Yeah Benny was a baller.
And Benny had his jets.
And Benny had his bimbos,
but he ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Cause Sally had it worked out
with Leo and the Feds
to take a .45 and bullet in his head.
Yeah Benny was a bigshot.
He was an ice cold mother in love with what he should not.
Jimmy was a drivin’ man,
but that wasn’t all that he had planned.
Cause Leo was his brother.
And Benny was a mother.
And Jimmy didn’t know that all the Feds were undercover.
Cause Sally had told Leo that it would be just a trio,
and they’d be down in Rio ‘fore the Feds would ever see…Though,
what was really aimed to happen
was a hoax; a mere distraction.
Cause when Jimmy went to cap him,
all the Feds were there to grab him.
But with Benny by his lonesome,
and Sally grown so loathsome…
a single shell, a .45,
a shot rang out and Benny cried “whoa-oh!
Whoa-oh-oh.”
Yeah Benny was a bigshot.
He was an ice cold mother in love with what he should not.
