Lyrics

Blue Line (Tani) ------------------------------ Blue. Take the blue line downtown Blue. Take the blue line downtown Ain’t no sinner without a future Ain’t no saint without a past Salvation’s on sale and the deals are going fast Big Jimmy always said, “It’s good to be king” He had his fingers deep in everything A taste of this, a little piece of that Before you know it a man gets fat Big Jimmy took pride in the good things in life The house, the car, the boat, the young trophy wife And as a tribute to his personal flair He had a statue of himself built down in St Mark’s Square Blue. Take the blue line downtown Big Jimmy didn’t go unnoticed upstate and caught the eye of one Louie the Great who felt that this was something he might need to contain So Louie called his right hand man, Rollo Fontaine Louie said “Rollo, go check this guy out” “and if we need to take him down just keep my name out” Rollo headed down state the very next day -Jimmy Wasn’t gonna like what Rollo had to say Rollo met with Jimmy at his bar the next night Jimmy could smell something wasn’t quite right. Rollo didn’t like Big Jimmy right from the start And set out to take Jimmy’s little kingdom apart Chorus Big Jimmy woke up just across the state line The flashlight in his face was not a good sign He held an empty bottle of Cuervo Gold™ And the girl beside him looked about 12 years old The troopers pulled Big Jimmy out of his car They asked him “Jimmy, do you know where you are?” Jimmy tried but found he was too high to walk And the teenage girl was too eager to talk Blue. Take the blue line downtown Big Jimmy’s trial’s a short and ugly affair Louie and Rollo made a point to be there They spared no effort or expense to supply The finest judge & jury that money could buy Big Jimmy knew it wasn’t going his way The case was closed before it opened that day There were witnesses to things that Jimmy couldn’t recall And a teenage girl who swore to it all The sparks are flying down at St Mark’s Square Dust and smoke and racket fill the air They’re busting concrete up and cutting through the steel The king is dead and there’s a brand new deal Big change has come to Jimmy’s former domain There’s a new boss in town named Rollo Fontaine Big Jimmy’s outta stir and workin’ upstate as the new right hand to one Louis the Great Chorus
