Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Alright, hey, hey listen
Before we go on to the next song
I got a really important piece of business
I've gotta take care of
Now, there's this guy
That uh, works [B]for us, he sells the T- [Em]shirts
His name is Dav[B]id [Em]Dikowitz

[Verse 2]
Now, some of you might [Em]know Dav[B]id
An[Em]d if you know him
You realize that David [B]is
a [Em]lonely guy
[A]He hasn't [Em]been pooched in three days
His nec[B]tar [Em]has built up, so to speak
And he asked me
If I could help him get a girl tonight

[Verse 3]
[Em]Now, normally I don't do this because
[B]I mean, of course being
a pimp [Em]is my hobby
[D]But [Em]in Dikowitz's case
This is taking it above and
beyond the call of duty
As they say in the trade

[Verse 4]
So here, here's [Em]the [Bm]plan
[Em]Somewhere out there, I know
Somewhere in this building there is a girl
Or a female type object
Who desires the compan[A]ionship [Em]of a nice,
Jewish boy
Who [Bm]sell[Em]s T- shirts
Now, I'm gonna make you
a two for one offer
Here's the deal

[Verse 5]
If you're [Em]a girl and you wanna
And you wanna submit [Bm]to
[B]Dik[Em]owitz's advances
If you'll go for Dikowitz
And you got a friend or sister
That would like to spend some
time with Al Malcon

[Verse 6]
Who's an [Em]a, who's another
[B]Dangerous[Em]ly lonely guy[Bm]
Had a little prob[B]lem here the [Em]other night
I understand, I don't like to be
spreading [Bm]gossip around
But [Em]this is New York

[Verse 7]
[Em]Al is a [B]very lonely pe[Bm]rson
[Em]And he came here to the
show the other night
With his girlfriend
He [C]introduced me to [G]her in the [D]back
She was [Em]a very

[Verse 8]
nice [B]person
They went [D]and they sat in the
audience to [Em]see the show
She says, [D]excuse me for a minute
I'm go get, gon[Em]na go get a drink
She [D]disappeared, [Em]didn't come back
Until five o'c[D]lock in the morning
[Em]Told she was drunk said:

[Verse 9]
"Al, [Em]I hate you"
In an exorcist [Bm]voice[Em]
And told him to move out
Now, we got these two
[D]Very nice [Em]people who need it
[G]Now[Em], as a matter of fact

[Verse 10]
Can we get a spotlight down here?
[D]Just so you see wha[Em]t
the merchandise is like
This is [B]David Dikowitz, right [Em]here[A]
[Em]Now, [D]obviously, he is [Em]nice
He is Jewish and he is a boy, right?
[A]So,[Em]

[Verse 11]
you see what you're in for
If you want, if you wanna
do it with [Bm]David
[Em]Just come down and introduce yourself
