Lyrics
Sal was working at Nyro's nook in downtown
Selling articles of congress to the people downtown
He was pretty sleazy when I met him
A weasel in a poor boy's wool
A weasel in a poor boy's wool
A weasel in a poor boy's wool
Sal lived up in a black vinyl pent in New Jersey
Buy him a little bit of meat from a whore next door
Wants it rare but he gets it well
A weasel on a short order floor
A weasel on a short order floor
A weasel on a short order floor
So, Sal, say goodbye to your mom and your dad
Sal, say goodbye to the barrio
Sal, say goodbye to your buddies and your pals
Angela, Perry, and Mario
A kid sinister with the bus stop blues
A quarter could take you home
A dime could make a dream come true
But a weasel ain't got a dime for the phone
A weasel ain't got a dime for the phone
A weasel ain't got a dime for the phone
So, Sal, say goodbye to your mom and your dad
Sal, say goodbye to the barrio
Sal, say goodbye to your buddies and your pals
Angela, Perry, and Mario
You dancin' in the welfare lines now
Actin' like some jerk or fool
'Cause we could lay out on the beaches eatin' peaches darling
A weasel in a white boy's cool
A weasel in a white boy's cool
A weasel in a white boy's cool
Sometimes we're all in a white boy's school
Just like a weasel
Writer(s): Rickie Jones, Alfred Johnson
