FRANKIE

His name is Frankie and he's everyone's mate 
Nobody dare comment on his colossal weight 
For if you upset Frankie you would quickly learn
How quickly a big fella can move and turn 

Frankie smoked cigars and is an entrepreneur 
Admired by men and makes all the ladies purr
Stood on a few toes I'm sure to be top of the tree
How he got there I certainly won't disagree 

Some of his deals are shady, crooked and bent
Collecting protection money was a daily event
He always managed to keep ahead of the law
Never done a day's prison that's for sure 

I saw Frankie in a pub one summer's day 
Made sure I didn't look at him the wrong way 
When I was introduced to this awe inspiring man
My hands were shaking like a star struck fan
