Sal was working at Nyro’s Nook in
downtown
Selling articles of congress to these
people downtown
He was pretty sleazy when I met him
A weasel in a poor boy’s wool
Sal lives in a black vinyl pen in
New Jersey
Buys his meat from a whore next door
Wants it rare but he gets it well
A weasel on a short-order floor
So, Sal, say good-bye to your mom and
your dad
Sal, say good-bye to the barrio
Sal, say good-bye to your buddies and
your pals
Angela, Perry, and Mario
Kid Sinister with the bus-stop blues
A quarter could take you home
But a weasel ain’t got a dime for
the phone
(Does a weasel got a dime for the phone?)
So, Sal, say good-bye to your mom and
your dad
Sal, say good-bye to the barrio
Sal, say good-bye to your buddies and
your pals
Angela, Perry, and Mario
You dancin’ in the welfare lines, Sal
Actin’ like some jerk-off fool
When we could lay out eatin’ peaches on
the beaches
A weasel in a white boy’s cool
But we’re all in a white boy’s school
(Just like a weasel)
