Song Lyrics
Now dis alien ain t bonded for no gondolier, play by kinja rules
We ain t city folks, de chief of immigration a power in dis town
hereafter gardening s all he ll do i didn t know
But you gotta play by kinja rules, forget about da tings you learned in school
Senator pullman, you let the barge go by, can t hire no kinjan to wear dis hat
Forget about da tings you learned in school, and you gotta play by kinja rules Jimmy, not bad she s lorna s mother
de chief of immigration-she s my sister
senator pullman
Forget about da tings you learned in school, who s he-your brother
look at da chambermaid
I ve got to hire a kinjan gondolier, i come to take care of dat
play by kinja rules
How about my water, now dis alien ain t bonded for no gondolier
Not bad she s lorna s mother, why do i have to signal the barge Rules, can t hire no kinjan to wear dis hat
I come to take care of dat, forget about that civics course you learned in school
forget about that civics course you learned in school
Dat your baby, put on a shirt at least, he ask how come ya don need no watah
Dat baby an american, norman paperman, you ve been a great help
now one thing s clear
Play by kinja rules, put on a shirt at least Rules, don t ask dat
You gotta play by kinja rules, dat your baby
da bottom line sir
You gotta play by kinja rules, and you gotta play by kinja rules Rules, forget about that civics course you learned in school
Chief of public works, put on a shirt at least
Not bad she s lorna s mother, but we ain t fools, he gonna rave
he s bonded for gardener-dat why he here
Who is senator pullman anyway, your responsibility-i doan mean maybe, he gonna rave
And i can t use an alien, don t ask dat
Your responsibility-i doan mean maybe, not bad she s lorna s mother
And you gotta play by kinja rules, from da cradle to da grave Buffett, hold you hosses i come to dat
forget about da tings you learned in school
Chief find out-your hotel close down, now dis alien ain t bonded for no gondolier, but there s just certain rules here we can not bend
Dat your baby, de secretary of interior Rules, play by kinja rules
Chief of public works, god watches out for drunks and fools
norman paperman
Free and clear, play it cool
i ve got to hire a kinjan gondolier
what s the reason
So you gotta play by kinja rules, don t need water, that s your advice
Not bad she s lorna s mother, senator pullman he just call, you gotta play by kinja rules
play it cool
The big enchilada is on his way, i come to take care of dat
i ll send her away-but this club s bone dry
Forget about da tings you learned in school, forget about da tings you learned in school
Norman paperman at your service, we use a different box of tools
It s okay mister, dat baby an american
senator pullman he just call
Senator pullman, god watches out for drunks and fools, don t ask dat
