Back in New York days,
I can remember adoring fawning showered on me.
Michael's eyes would gaze at me so tender
while I was scheming. Now I can see.
If these things come to light

from stuff in Mike Cohen's files.

old taco bowls,
laundering Russian money.
I have no soul.
Slick schemes outlined in fax
to skip all income tax.
They'll find in Mike Cohen's files.

I know one man who will stand by me.
Mike Cohen.
And when I'm in the penetentiary
I know who my cellmate will be.
Mike Cohen.
For a jury may convict us
and they'll throw us in a cell
but that will not restrict us saying
Bob Mueller go to hell.
Contracts with Playboy bunnies,
old taco bowls,
laundering Russian money.
I have no soul.
Slick schemes outlined in fax
to skip all income tax.
They'll find in Mike Cohen's files.
