lyrics

In the time before time, it pre-dates your best wine
I brandished a Blackjack
Roast beef, what I need, nobody bother me
The toughest salami of the streets
It was great heist and they never found me
That was back in 1923
Been waiting for the day they make a Scorsese movie
Featuring DeNiro and Joe Pesci

About the infamous heist of the roast beef (Rosario)
It was me the world’s greatest deli thief (Rosario)

Now it turns out in 2023
There was a Roku documentary about me
They cracked the code, I grabbed my robe, it’s time to hit the road
Finally, they’ll chase me
So I start my car, badged R-34
And I hide the VIN, registered in Baltimore
As a 2 door Altima, but that’s best left unknown
The exhaust holes create a beautiful tone

I was the infamous stealer of the roast beef (Rosario)
And I deserve to serve a million to life atleast (Rosario)

I’ve been on the run for thirty days, I was unrecognized at Applebee’s
Even as I carried my Uncle Scrooge bags, with a painted symbol of a cow’s face
Oh I’m Rosario, oh don’t you know
Oh I’m Rosario, doesn’t anybody ,anybody know?

Spoils of war, I got more meat in the bag - Vintage stuff, 1920’s cuts
I took a bite and finally, that was the end of 120 year old me
