[CALOGERO]
I guess I should've listened
But I was just a kid
I thought that I knew better
And hell, perhaps I did
From out of the bar, I heard voices I knew
And music, and laughter, and Sonny's voice too
And I felt bad

[YOUNG CALOGERO]
But I liked it

[CALOGERO]
Ignored my dad

[YOUNG CALOGERO]
'Cause I liked it

[CALOGERO]
And if he didn't know, heck what's an hour or so?

[CALOGERO & YOUNG CALOGERO]
And somehow one hour turned into two, and somehow two hours just kept on going

[CALOGERO]
Hours became days
[YOUNG CALOGERO]
Weeks went by in a haze

[CALOGERO & YOUNG CALOGERO]
'Til eight years passed me by without any sign of slowing

[CALOGERO]
And Sonny's reach kept growing
And guess who he became?
The "Capo Di Tutti Capi"
The East Coast's biggest name
And "Wise Guys" would come from all over the land
To pay their respects, kiss his ring, shake his hand
LA!

[WISE GUY #1]
Hey, Louie! How you doin'?

[CALOGERO]
Miami!

[WISE GUY #2]
How'm I doin'? How you doin'?

[CALOGERO]
Chicago!
[WISE GUY #3]
I'm doin' good. How you doin'?

[CALOGERO]
Detroit!

[WISE GUY #4]
Can't complain

[CALOGERO]
Las Vegas!

[WISE GUYS]
You look good. No, you look good. No, you look good. No, you look good. No, you look good

[CALOGERO, spoken]
Guys!
Youse all look good

[SOME WISE GUY, spoken]
Who the hell are you?

[SONNY]
I call him "C"
And I like him
The kid's with me
'Cause I like him
If you're smart fellas you better like the kid too
[ALL WISE GUYS]
We like him!

[CALOGERO]
And suddenly I found myself in 1968
The Yankees in the seller
The Beatles sounding great
The bar's always jumpin'
The laughs never end
And I'm Sonny's guy, I'm his boy, I'm his friend
And I liked it
Yeah
I liked it
Oh yeah!
Sonny's reign had begun and I was like Sonny's son
And I liked it
Oh, I liked it!
I liked it
