When you're six feet underground?

You never go to nightclubs, and

You just don't care to dance
     C7                  C7
You don't have time for silly things
      C7             F
Like moonlight and romance
     F             F
You only think of dollar bills
      Bb            C
Tied neatly in a stack

A#ut when you kiss a dollar bill

It doesn't kiss you back

You like to eat and eat
    C7          C7
You won't eat cucuzza

You're afraid it'll break your teeth
      F               F
You always think you may bite off
C                  Bb
More than you can chew

Don't be afraid you won't have teeth
      C7               F
When you reach ninety-two

His family emigrated from Sicily, Italy, and after a brief stay in Argentina settled in the United States. Prima studied violin for several years as a child. His older brother Leon was a well regarded local bandleader. Prima was proud of his heritage, and made a point of letting the audience know at every performance that he was Italian-American and from New Orleans.
