Bust Your Knee Caps Lyrics
Jonny don't leave me
You said you'd love me forever
Honey, believe me
I'll have your heart on a platter
Might you recall
We've got our small family business (business)
And the family won't like this
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
Jonny you told me
You were no fool, you were no chump
Then you got cold feet
Now all you'll be is a speed bump
It's something we call (something we call)
Oh, just a small family business (business)
And the family won't like this
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
They'll bust your knee caps
That's what they're going to do
Jonny there's still time
Together I know, we'd go so far
I'll tell uncle Rocco
To call off the guys with the crowbars
You call it crime
We call it smart family business (business)
And the family is famous
(Let's bust some knee caps)
(music)
Bust your knee caps
(music)
Ooh, bust your knee caps
It's such a shame
That you became such an issue
Oh dear Jonny, I'll miss you
They'll bust your knee caps
That's what they're going to do (ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do)
They'll bust your knee caps
Probably some other stuff, too (ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do)
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh, yeah, they're coming for you
Bust your knee caps
Ooh, bust your knee caps
Bust your knee caps
Ooh, bust your knee caps
You said you'd love me forever
Honey, believe me
I'll have your heart on a platter
We've got our small family business (business)
And the family won't like this
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
You were no fool, you were no chump
Then you got cold feet
Now all you'll be is a speed bump
Oh, just a small family business (business)
And the family won't like this
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
They'll bust your knee caps
That's what they're going to do
Together I know, we'd go so far
I'll tell uncle Rocco
To call off the guys with the crowbars
We call it smart family business (business)
And the family is famous
That you became such an issue
Oh dear Jonny, I'll miss you
That's what they're going to do (ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do)
They'll bust your knee caps
Probably some other stuff, too (ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do)
Ooh-wop, de-do-wop-de-do
They'll bust your knee caps
Ooh, yeah, they're coming for you
Ooh, bust your knee caps
Bust your knee caps
Ooh, bust your knee caps

Great song.
I think this is a reference to the Godfather. If I remember correctly, Johnny betrayed the Corleone family (you know, mafia, "you call it crime, we call it smart family business") and payed for it greatly. The other character mentioned, Rocko/Rocco, is also in the Godfather, usually in charge of brutal action.
