We open at a wedding
At Don Vito's place
His youngest son arrives
Puts a smile upon his face
A war hero, young Michael
With Kay, his bride-to-be
She doesn't know what's coming
If she joins his family
Where the hell is Sonny?
Don Vito's eldest son
We find him in a back room
Giving a bridesmaid one
Big shot movie mogul
Retires to his bed
What is that between the sheets
Oh look, a horses head!
Carlo beats his missus
Connie is her name
Carlo doesn't realise
That he's playing a dangerous game
Shot out on the street
Vito's blood flows in the drains
Time then for young Michael
To take the family reins
His first act, double murder
Revenge then, for his kin
Michael goes to Sicily
To save his 'guinea' skin
While he's there he takes a wife
As pretty as a star
She don't look so good
When she's blown up in a car
Sonny beats on Carlo
For beating on his wife
Little does Sonny know
This act will cost his life
Shot out on the causeway
Just like Bonnie & Clyde
Carlo wanted revenge
And he weren't to be denied
Michael's plan was Vegas
He'd own it all one day
While he was at a christening
Enemies were blown away
But wait, I am forgetting
Yes, there is another
His name of course, is Fredo
The dumbass middle brother
Put yourself in his shoes
Watch your brothers get the lot
Could he ever be Godfather?
No. 'Cos in part 2 - he gets shot
Those poor old Corleones
Will they ever get it right?
If they'd only stick to olive oil
I reckon they just might...
