Jimmy "Potatoes" Manocchio
Employed by the mob
Hired by the mafia
It was his full time job
He was officially
From the town of Sicily
But he hated publicity
Well wouldn't you know
And Jimmy "Potatoes"
Well that was his name
From looking like a potato
He received his fame
He was in his prime
In organized crime
During that time
Yet he hated potatoes
Jimmy complained
He didn't sound rough
With that nickname
He didn't sound too tough
With every robbery
He felt their mockery
Of not being named properly
Of the name he was ashamed
On one fateful day
Jimmy got stuck in a well
He couldn't see the ground
Well that's why he fell
Because of his potato shape
He could not escape
It was his mistake
In that well he would stay
And good ole Jimmy
He went down in history
Why he didn't do sit ups
Well that is a mystery
In all his smuggling
His shape was troubling
A life so puzzling
Well that is a gimme
