[Verse 1]
Emadd9C/E
Fat and weak, what a disgrace,
D/EEm
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Emadd9C/E
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space,
D/EEm
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.
Emadd9C/E
But he's no bum, he works down the street,
D/EEm
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Emadd9C/E
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat,
D/EEm
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say:
[Chorus 1]
A/ED/EAmEm/BD/A
Try the rye or the kaiser, they're on special tonight.
AmEm/BD/A
If you want, you can have an appeti - zer.
A/ED/EAmEm/BD/A
You might like our salami and the liver's all right,
Am Bm7 C N.C. E5
And they'd really go well with the rye or the kaiser.
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Emadd9C/E
Never eats while on the job,
D/EEmEmadd9Em
He heard it's good to stay hungry.
Emadd9C/E
But he makes a pretty mean shish kebab,
D/EEm
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.
[Chorus 2]
A/ED/EAmEm/BD/A
Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white,
AmEm/BD/A
Maybe I can suggest an appeti - zer.
A/ED/EAmEm/BD/A
Stay a - way from the tuna, it smells funny tonight,
Am Bm7 C N.C. E5
But you just can't go wrong with the rye or the kaiser.
[Interlude]
E5E5E5E5
[Verse 3]
Emadd9C/E
So today, his deli comes first,
C6/EC/ED/EEmEmadd9Em
Still he dreams of his past days of glory.
Emadd9C/E
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
D/EEm
All the while you can still hear him say:
[Chorus 3]
A/ED/EAmEm/BD/A
It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite,
AmEm/BD/A
Let me please be your catering advi - sor.
A/ED/EAmEm/BD/A
If you want substitutions I won't put up a fight,
Am Bm7 C N.C. E5
You can have your roast beef on the rye or the kaiser.
[Interlude]

The rye or the kaiser...

The rye or the kaiser...

The rye or the kaiser...
