"Are You a Doctor, Are You Italian": From a Friend on the Train This Morning

No mah mee wai
No mah mee wai

Excuse me
Excuse me
You used to be a boxer
I know you
No one try to rob you
You’s a boxer

No mah mee wai
No mah mee wai

I make this lady laugh
I used to be her husband
Had white skin and
She would give me kisses
But
No more

No mah mee wai
No mah mee wai

I wish I could sleep
Can’t take a nap
Not until 95th
Hush little baby
Don’t you cry
Papa’s gonna buy you
A mocking bird

No mah mee wai
No mah mee wai

Excuse me
Excuse me
Can I get through
Ladies you look so lovely today
Will no one marry me
No one
Ladies, please

No mah mee wai
No mah mee wai
