Poor Jimmy Meatballs down on his luck
Borrowed ten large he can’t make a buck
Now there’s a contract can’t pay the juice
When you’re into the man there ain’t no excuse
Sleepin’ with the fishes
Down below the sea
If I wind up missing then that’s Where I’ll be
Sleepin’ with the fishes
Down below the sea
Don’t you bother lookin’ cause you won’t find me
Mickey the Needle talkin trash
Selling some “H” just to score some cash
Best he remember pay his dues
Or he’ll be wearing cement shoes
Jackie the Weasel, down on his knees
Couple of feds got him in a squeeze
Snitched on the man now he’s taking a ride
Soon he’ll be floatin’ away with the tide
Ol’ Tommy Twoface ain’t no more
Took out a hitter started a war
Begged him for mercy
Used up his wishes
Now he blows bubbles
Down with the fishes
Sleepin’ with the fishes
Down below the sea
If I wind up missing
Then that’s where I’ll be
Sleepin’ with the fishes
Down below the sea
Don’t you bother lookin’
Cause you won’t find me
