♪♫ 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" ♪♫
