Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Bay Parkway [Am]wonder[E]
You're such a [B]success[E]
Your pretty secretary, ha
[Am]She say you [E]are the best
[Am]Your[Dm] face[D] always [Dm]smili[E]ng[Dm]
[Am]Say you sure[E] paid your dues[Am]
But [E]I know inside
You've got [Am]the Benson
[E]hurst blues[Am][E][Am]
Those [E]custom-made [Am]ciggies[E]
That [B]you offer to [E]me [B]pre[E]tend
And pretend to care about
my [Am]fam i[E]ly[Am][Dm]
And those pictures on
your [Am]desk[Dm][Am]
All them [E]lies that you [Am]ab use
[E]Do they know you suffer
From [Am]the B[E]ensonhurst blues[Am][E][Am][E]
[Am]
[E][Am][Dm][Am][E][Am][E]
[Am][E][Am]
Your [E]grandmother's ac[Am]cent[E]
Still embar[B]rasses

[Verse 2]
[E]you[B][E]
You're even ashamed
Of the [Am]French you once [E]knew[Am][Dm]
[D]You're par[Dm]t of the chance now
[Am]They break [E]you making the [Am]news
[E]But I know inside
You've got [Am]the B[E]ensonhurst blues
[Am][Dm][D]
[Dm]But thanks [Eb]for the les[Dm]son
[Am]Cause the [E]life that [Am]I choo[E]se
Won't make me feel like living
With [Am]the B[E]ensonhurst blues[Am][Dm]
And don't, don't try to write me
[Am]And don't both[E]er to call[Am]
[E]Cause I'll be in conference

[Outro 1]
Merry Christmas you all
[E][Am][Am][Dm][Am][E][Am][E]
