Odessa Li’l, for thee I sing.
Protection rackets, it’s a thing.
Of course I paid for my TVs.
Bone spurs be damned; I love my knees.
Besides, Semyon’s been good to me.
Oligarch pals, they’ve got money
In need of parking or a wash
In real estate, and I need cash.
Gave loads to Giuliani, too.
And now the markers have come due.
Mark my words: This will all come back to Brighton Beach
