Forty-Eight Twenty-Three Twenty-Second Street - The Fiery Furnaces[00:00:00]

Written by：Matthew Friedberger[00:00:00]

Now as for my aunt[00:00:01]

Who told on me[00:00:03]

She was always wearing her turbans[00:00:06]

Sailing back to Greece on the normandy[00:00:10]

Having dinner at the captain's table[00:00:14]

Sitting on the deck[00:00:18]

With five men surrounding her[00:00:20]

With Uncle Sam in the back row[00:00:23]

And visiting back at home[00:00:27]

Riding up the taygetus[00:00:30]

On a donkey named David[00:00:32]

With her soft leather boots[00:00:36]

Dangling off to the side[00:00:38]

So full of pride[00:00:41]

So full of pride[00:00:46]

Profitis elias so high you can see us[00:01:24]

Fourty eight Twenty three 22nd street[00:01:29]

Standing there with cashmere overcoats[00:01:32]

And those turbans with their arabian silver[00:01:35]

And ostrich and papagou feather hats[00:01:38]

And not far down from our koumbaros betinis[00:01:41]

We've got a secret between us betinis[00:01:45]

In the back of the hawthorne smoke shop[00:01:58]

In the basement of the hat factory[00:02:02]

The fedoras got glued together[00:02:07]

But in that back basement[00:02:12]

In that back basement[00:02:14]

A lot of things got sewn up[00:02:15]

A full compliment of grinchy italians[00:02:20]

Counting up on their stubby fingers[00:02:22]

And smoking I'm told[00:02:24]

The least sophisticated cigars[00:02:27]

The local lottery and so forth[00:02:29]

Like anybody was going[00:02:32]

To get a nit out of that nut[00:02:32]

Though what a lucky loser[00:02:34]

Is our five thousand dollars[00:02:36]

A day friend and koumbaros betinis[00:02:37]

We've got a secret between us betinis[00:02:39]

In the back of the hawthorne smoke shop[00:02:43]

Haberdashery was the least of it[00:02:46]

In the basement of the hat factory[00:02:50]

The fedoras got glued together[00:02:55]

But in that back basement[00:03:00]

In that back basement[00:03:01]

A lot of things got sewn up[00:03:03]

We've got a secret between us betinis[00:03:17]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:22]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:23]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:25]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:26]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:27]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:28]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:29]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:31]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:32]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:03:33]

In the basement of the hat factory[00:03:36]

The fedoras got glued together[00:03:38]

In that back basement[00:03:43]

In that back basement[00:03:44]

A lot of things got sewn up[00:03:46]

We've got a secret between us betinis[00:03:48]

Not that nobody knows like[00:03:51]

Nobody knows about the white[00:03:52]

Doves that flew out the cake[00:03:54]

At the brother's wedding[00:03:55]

In your hat factory betinis[00:03:57]

They count up all the buffalo nickels[00:03:59]

And silver certificates[00:04:01]

Wrung from lake superior spirits[00:04:02]

And prize fight foolery[00:04:04]

And sluts speaking easy in the[00:04:06]

Closets on 12th street[00:04:08]

And in exchange you put in your pants[00:04:10]

Five thousand dollars a day[00:04:11]

To stick under your bed for starters[00:04:13]

But later in the laundry so you can feel free[00:04:15]

To chase your wife around the table[00:04:17]

When you think she in at the[00:04:19]

Apricot and boysenberry boy twice[00:04:20]
