about

Certainly ONE of the good reasons to do something is because it is FUN, and I wrote this song for fun. Inspired by a friend's FB thread in which it was debated whether an image was more Bond or more Godfather I thought, why not both? And if the two are to meet, they simply MUST do so in a Ska song. Because where ELSE could it happen?

This is a slightly different mix from my earlier single, and I wonder if anyone will notice, apart from perhaps the chauffeur, who knows all. Mind the ejector seat.

lyrics

BOND MEETS THE GODFATHER

Top secret plans
On a strictly strictly need-to-know basis
Going on the lam
And covering all the bases
Bond meets the Godfather

So what did they expect?
With all of the shenanigans
We like a well-pressed suit
Got a commitment to the truth
Dropping in unannounced
Cos sometimes that's how we roll
Ya don't know the agenda
Cos we're tryin' to find a mole
Gonna flush him out when
Bond meets the Godfather

Bang bang shoot 'em up

You know how we like it
Shaken not stirred
The law of Omertà says don't say a word
Shhh

I smell a rat
What will we do about that?
When Bond meets the Godfather

You know how we travel
Ejector seat
Flee the casino
Corrupt on the beat
Judges in pocket
In their master plan
High on the mountain
The rockets go blam
They cannot stop it
Cos we have joined forces
Notice my chauffeur has a horses head
And listen what he said
Bond meets the Godfather
Bond meets the Godfather
Bond meets the Godfather
Bond meets the don
