The Touchables In Brooklyn Lyrics by Dickie Goodman

Mr. Jaws And Other Fables By Dickie Goodman

1973

Brooklyn, New York, July 4th, 1939 - A day for fireworks
Murder Incorporated received a contract to rub out Elliott Fress
Stuttering Sam Goldman gave the order:
[From 'Blue Moon' by The Marcels]
Bomp-a-bomp-bomp....
Dang-a-dang.....
The job was given to Babyface Latka, notorious East New York trigger man
As Fress stepped from his headquarters.....[machine gun fire]
His gun still smoking, Babyface called
Stuttering Sam and gave his report:
[From 'Baby Sittin' Boogie' by Buzz Clifford]
Boogie, boogie, boogie, all night
Hearing the good news, Stuttering Sam rewarded
Him with Gangland's highest tribute:
[From 'Baby Blue' by The Echoes]
You're my baby blue
But Elliott Fress was still alive
Murder Incorporated took care of Babyface
New York police found his body buried in:
[From 'A Hundred Pounds of Clay' by Gene McDaniels]
A hundred pounds of clay
The following day, Canary Cone, another killer
Disguised as a messenger, delivered a small package
To the home of Elliott Fress
As the door opened, Canary sang:
[From 'Dedicated To the One I Love' by The Shirelles]
This is dedicated to the one I love
[sound of explosion]
Realizing he was in the wrong house
The killer looked down at his victim and said:
[From 'Pony Time' by Chubby Checker]
It's Pony time, get up!
Taken into custody, Cone made a full confession
Armed with this evidence, the Touchables
Surrounded a Brooklyn warehouse
Headquarters of Murder Incorporated
Fress called to Stuttering Sam:
[From 'Surrender' by Elvis Presley]
Oh my darling, please surrender
From inside came the answer....[sound of machine gun fire]
After a brief gun battle, Stuttering Sam stumbled
From the building, screaming:
[From 'That's It-I Quit-I'm Movon' On' by Sam Cooke]
That's it. I Quit
Aftraid he might talk, the National Crime Syndicate
Sent two killers disguised as police to the hotel where
He was being held. Terrified he pleaded:
[From 'I Don't Want To Cry' by Chuck Jackson]
I don't want to cry
He cried but not for long.....[sound of machine gun fire]
Mortally wounded, Stuttering Sam fell from
A seventeenth story window. His final words were:
[From 'Blue Moon' by The Marcels]
Bomp-a-bomp-bomp.......
Dang-a-dang.....
This was the end of Murder Incorporated
Called to Washington for official ceremonies
The Touchables were asked what dangerous assignment
They would like next
"We would like our own television show!"
