Em9 C/E
Fat and weak, what a disgrace,
D/E Em
Guess the champ got too lazy.
Em9 C/E
Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space,
D/E Em
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.
Em9 C/E
But he's no bum, he works down the street,
D/E Em
He bought the neighborhood deli.
Em9 C/E
Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat,
D/E Em
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say:
A/E D/E Am Em/B D/A
Try the rye or the kaiser, they're on special tonight.
Am Em/B D/A
If you want, you can have an appeti - zer.
A/E D/E Am Em/B D/A
You might like our salami and the liver's all right,
Am Bm7 C E5
And they'd really go well with the rye or the kaiser.
Em9 C/E
Never eats while on the job,
D/E Em Em9 Em
He heard it's good to stay hungry.
Em9 C/E
But he makes a pretty mean shish kebab,
D/E Em
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.
A/E D/E Am Em/B D/A
Try the rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white,
Am Em/B D/A
Maybe I can suggest an appeti - zer.
A/E D/E Am Em/B D/A
Stay a - way from the tuna, it smells funny tonight,
Am Bm7 C E5
But you just can't go wrong with the rye or the kaiser.
Em9 C/E
So today, his deli comes first,
C6/E C/E D/E Em Em9 Em
Still he dreams of his past days of glory.
Em9 C/E
Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
D/E Em
All the while you can still hear him say:
A/E D/E Am Em/B D/A
It's the rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite,
Am Em/B D/A
Let me please be your catering advi - sor.
A/E D/E Am Em/B D/A
If you want substitutions I won't put up a fight,
Am Bm7 C E5
You can have your roast beef on the rye or the kaiser.
Em
The rye or the kaiser...
Em
The rye or the kaiser...
Em
The rye or the kaiser...
