Lyrics

Well, you went to Virginia, looking for a pay raise
And you tried to think up a new word
You had the yiddish in your head
But that's not what we all heard
ooooh
And when you wake up in the morning
you're in Tony's crossfire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry to the littles
But don't come bitchin' to me

Because you had to say chaputzvah, didn't ya
You had to open up your mouth
You had to try some yiddish, didn't ya,
The Virginia floor was so knocked out
You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to try some Yiddish, that’s right
You had to say chaputzvah last night
wooo-oooohh
Oy-vay

Tony was not impressed with your attempt at yiddish
And the littles also thought it was lame
And the story of your latest success
kept Tony so entertained
ahhhhhhh
But now you may have misremembered
All the things you said
And you're not sure you want to know
I'll give you one hint, Tommy
It was hutzpah that you didn't know

Yes, yes, you had to say chaputzvah, didn't ya
You had to try it on the House
You had to say chaputzvah, didn't ya
All the delegates were so knocked out
You had to make a new word, last night
You're so much fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to say chaputzvah last night
