♪♫ Franky was a mook from the block we used to live on

The wanna be the gangster;

The wanna be the dapper Don, Don John on

the wall, I said now I'm your biggest fan

next to my little brother Paul.

He's losing his grip man, like Pesci, he'd flip

if you talk to his brother he says they

always planned this trip

he wasn't oky-dokie running around like

Don Quixote, trying to free a man he

didn't even know B.

He had the roots and he bought the suits

and the boys didn't like him to tell you the truth

yeah he had "J.G." on his pinky ring and he

lied about some doin' some time up in sing-sing

he flipped one fine summer afternoon

he told his brother Paulie, something had to be done soon.

He took Paulie and a couple of boys and jacked the

Coup de Ville to Illinois.

La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di-da-di, la-di

La-di da-di, free John Gotti "The King of New York", "The King of New York"

He got a clipper from a stripper, he met at a club

two sticks of dynamite and a .38 Snub

he went to see the Don, without an invitation

and stood outside the gate with his three man demonstartion

He was waving picket signs, and the C.O. saw a nine;

and only Paulie go away with the skin on his behind.

Back in the borough the cops is acting

thorough; they raided Franky's room

that's when they saw his bureau; upon it was a note,

with a rhyme that was dope, about

how he was breaking John out and how he couldn't cope.

It said, "I don't fly coach, never save the roach,

"The King of New York", "The King of New York""

I said I never fly coach and never save the roach

"The King of New York", "The King of New York"

La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di

La-di da-di, free John Gotti, "The King of New York" man, "The King of New York" ♪♫
