and he (Am)sends him to the fin est school in (Gm7)town.

And (F)Le von,

(Bb)Le von likes his (F)mon ey.

He makes a lot they say.

Spends his days loon and go (Dm)count ing

in a (Bb)ga rage by the Le von slow tor ly way.

He was born a pau per to a pawn on a (Bb)Christ mas day when the (F)New York Times said God is dead and (F)war’s be gun.

Al vin Tos tig has a son to day.

And (CN.C.)he shall be Le von,

and he shall be a good man.

And he shall be Le von,

in tra di tion with the (F)fam ’ly plan.

And he shall be Le von,

and he shall be a good man.

(F)Le von sells car toon bal loons in town.

His fam ’ly bus’ ness thrives.
