Staten Island Baby lyrics

Your old man, he`s in Homicide - NYPD
He looks at me suspiciously

Your momma she`s a psychiatric nurse in the city
Works in Bellevue and I look kinda familiar?
Still everything would have been all right
If I could have had you home by midnight

But it`s five in the mornin`
We slept through the alarm and
I could think of places I would rather be
Than sayin` `hi ya doin`` to your Old Man at 5:43

Then you take me in your arms and you drive me crazy
And I`d walk through walls for my Staten Island Baby

Didn`t your Momma warn you `bout rock musicians
They`re not bad in bed but they`re hopeless in the kitchen
Didn`t your Daddy tell `bout the facts of life
What feels so good may not be so nice

And everything would have been okay
If you hadn`t kissed me in that special way
But it`s five in the mornin`
My heart`s contortin`
And I could think of places I`d rather be
Than havin` a chat with your pistol packin` Daddy
Then you take me in your arms and you drive me crazy
And I`d give it all up for my Staten Island Baby

Would you think of marryin` a rock musician
You know what I`m good at and I`d get better in the kitchen
I could take the test for the NYPD
Have your family over for Thanksgiving on Avenue B

And everything would just be so fine
We could stay in bed all of the time
Way past five in the mornin`
To hell with alarms and
I know the worst thing I could see
Your Old Man in his pajamas and he`s pointin` his piece at me

Then you take me in your arms and you drive me crazy
And I`d join the NYPD
For my Staten Island Baby
