[Verse 1]
There was a four-lane road
With the mafia soul
It was made out of sand
From the devil's own hand
Where the city light gleams
Out to kings and to queens
Where the family name
Was the town from where you came
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea serpent
I love you so
[Verse 2]
It was the Dust Bowl days
When they said you couldn't stay
So your daddy moved you east
To the Oyster Bay streets
Brother Peter left you
In a B-17
While your sisters watched the news
In the cinema pews
[Verse 3]
It was the only way to know
Where his squadron goes
If he's ever coming back
Through a sea of burning flags
Say goodbye to the twins
No original sin
One day, you're gonna be
Grandmother to us three
