How would you like to be my son?

How would you like to be my own adopted boy?
                       Gm
I never liked him much before
                                 A
But count the cash that's in the drawer
                                 D
I've got no choice. I'm much too poor

(spoken)

Now, Mr. Mushnik, don't be rash
                           Am
You always said that I was trash.

Scuse the physical expression of my pride

Of the sweet paternal mishegoss I've held pent-up--insi-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ide!
