Al Capone
did some things I can't condone,
which is just to say -
no massacres on Valentines Day.
If this old guy gets to Heaven one of these days
He'll surely be watching you peeps
So be advised you guys better behave yourselves
My guys will be on standby ready to straighten you out
And you surely wouldn't want that
They are called angels but don't let the name fool you
They can really be quite scary
Betcha you had no idea
You thought all angels were angelic like
These guys were once 'angels' for Al Capone
So you have been forewarned
there once was a stray shelter cat named Capone
adopted to kill all the mice in his home
a mouser they said
his owner misled
he just played with all the mice and let them roam
