Jack steps out of his HQ in The Loop and walks the short distance to a street corner.  There, he pulls a wooden box to his feet, steps on it, and begins to talk.

It's with pride that I announce this here writing contest.  It's a song writing contest.  Now, I know what y'all are thinkin' - who's got enough time to be writing a damn song!

Well, I know y'all are busy, so you don't gotta write an entire song!  Just a chorus, or a verse, or both.  Heck, if you can write a whole song, then write a whole damn song.

If not, a verse or a chorus.  Maybe you want to follow on from the fellow before you?  I don't mind.

Three prizes:

Best song - $2M

2nd Best - $1M

3rd Best - $500k

Worst - TBC

Closing date TBC, depending on entries, but probably Thursday.

I'll start:

I, wanna mafia all night!

And petty every day.

I, wanna mafia all night

And do an OC today!

Everyday I wake up and

First I do the hustle.

Every time I do a felony,

I flex my muscle.

Some days I get to shoot (yeah!)

And other days I loot (oh!)

All of it is done

Wearing my black suit

Each morning I wake up

Wants my coffee fast

Its truly great to interupt

Coffee-machine is last

Also in evenings thats like wassup

And why cant I get my mast

getting down, yeah yup yup

LonelyWolf - I'm afraid your composition isn't a valid entry.  It isn't about the life that we lead.

I understand that I didn't specify that this is a rule, and I thank you for your understanding in advance, but it is a rule.  I should have clearly stated it.

"...All       

Day

I     

    Dream

   About

    Sex..."

-IgnorePlease-

So its not possible to drink and brew coffee in the mafia-life :p

No worries, hope there comes in many good ones, well done with this JackHenryAbbot

Oh~

When I look at my watch, it's time for another catch~

RIA, MIA, Durden, pew pew away~

Oh~

When I look at my watch, it's time for another dispatch~

Coke, heroin, profiting away~

Oh~

When I look at my watch, it's time for that snatch~

Cons, prisoners, bust them away~

Oh~ Life's so wholesome, clock ticking away~

Living the gangster way~

People talk too much
My suggestion is to learn our ways
'Cause this will get you dead
We have a set of rules
And you're on thin ice
Keep your head down and learn quick

I hope you know we're judging you
We're The Crazy Train
And if you still keep going this way, we just might

Shoot someone tonight

We deal with wannabees
That think they're tough
And if you still keep going this way, we just might

Shoot someone tonight

We're the Crazy Train
We'll deal with no shit
And if your mouth keeps flapping this way, we just might

Shoot you in your face tonight

Give me someone to shoot
Just give me someone to shoot
Baam in yer fucking face
I hope you know, We're The Crazy Train
What!
The Crazy Train
What!
The motherfucking Crazy Train

So come and get it

Verse 1

Living the life of a gangster

HQ’s shot up everyday

good friends have gone away

So why do I have an itchy trigger finger

Verse 2

I’ll tell you why, it’s fun to die

And killing a snitch is bangin’

Okay I’ll admit, digging a grave’s shit

But robbing a casket’s priceless

Chorus

Petty, felony, jail, repeat

PP, travel, fly, the streets

Durdens, hitlist, wack, attack

Get auth, obits (bring it back)

Verse 3

Live your life with honour

Loyalty and respect

Work hard to get your button

To help keep others in check

Verse 4

Shoot your way to the top

Godfather, cream of the crop

Reach the summit

Then you plummet

Good friends stab you in the front

Can it be more of a rhapsody? I'm not good at formal song. I never went to school for it, so my voice is all over the place. If not, that's fine. I get it. Just trying to figure this whole thing out, you know? I really don't want to lose again.

Not that I care about winning, I don't. Would just be nice though. You know?

In some countries this would be a song. What if this was my song? Do you think it'd be the winning one?

Sisyphus - do whatever you like.

And I haven't forgotten about this.  Still open for entrants.

The tapping of a small drum was heard in the distance as a man dressed in only a robe was seen walking up towards where everyone was sending in their newest song creations. Then without any such notice, he began to sing.

There he was.

His name? Sisyphus? What is he doing? No one knowsyphus.

I once went to the moviesyphus.

I really enjoyed the movie I watchedyphus.

[Chorus: Sisyphus oh Sisyphus yphus yphus yphus]

[More Chorus: yphus yphus yphus yphus]

There he is. Mister Sisyphus, what is he doing? No one knowsyphus.

That's all I knowyphus about Sisyphuuuussssss.

It was perfect. He was quite the songbird now, and he was sure that a first place was going to show up at his doorstop if not now then at some point in the near future. For you can't succeed if you don't try.

I thank you all for your time. Really hope I finish top five this time. I've lowered my bar substantially.

Hello, The_Head.  Please feel free to enter.

I will announce winners tomorrow.

Fantastic news. I've penned a little ditty in honor of my leader __________I_________, he of the name that makes the ladies swoon. Once I've finished sucking on this Fisherman's Friend I shall begin..

Woaaaaaaaaah!


Woaaaaaaaaah!


Woaaaaaaaaah!


Woaaaaaaaaah!


Ladies and gents this is the man you've been waiting for
Been searching the streets, for the lord of the underscores
Feeling it in your bones he's the man that you can't ignore
Holdin' your breath, stealin' your mind
All those other names are left behind


Don't fight it, he's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this name, don't care what comes after
Your pants are wet, can't you see him gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel his greatness takin' over
It's awe, it's wonder, it's floodin' open
Every thug in the gutter looks at him with blind devotion
The kids have posters of him on every wall
Gangsters from everywhere know, so tell me do you wanna go?


Where his name appears in colored lights
Where his capos are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, he's takin' over you
OH, HIS IS THE GREATEST NAME!


His head's blew up, he won't come down
Tyler Durden can't stop him now
Sure ain't no mystery, in mafia history
OH, HIS IS THE GREATEST NAME!


(Woaaaaaaaaah!)

Fanatics arrive with their jaws trailing on the floor

(Woaaaaaaaaah!)

Trying to catch a glimpse of the king of the underscores


Don't fight it, he's comin' for you, runnin' at ya
It's only his name, don't care what comes after
It's blindin', outshinin' any name that you know
Just surrender 'cause he's callin' and you wanna go


Where his name appears in colored lights
Where his capos are runnin' the night
Your fantasy comes true, intoxicatin' you
OH, HIS IS THE GREATEST NAME!


His head's blew up, he won't come down
Tyler Durden can't stop him now
A moniker inspired, no letters required
OH, HIS IS THE GREATEST NAME!


He's everything you ever want
He's everything you ever need
And he's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be (This is where you wanna be)
He's everything you ever want
He's everything you ever need
And he's here right in front o' you
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be


His name covered in all the colored lights
Where his capos are running the night
Impossible comes true, he's takin' over you
OH HIS IS THE GREATEST NAME!


His head's blew up, he won't come down
Tyler Durden can't stop him now
Sure ain't no mystery, in mafia history
OH, HIS IS THE GREATEST NAME!

And you see the prophecy is comin' true
And no other names can stop him (now) now, yeah
