The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre Rap
The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre Rap
(to be sung to the tune of any rap song since they all sound the same anyway)
There was a mobster named Al Capone
a mobster without a cell phone
namely because they hadn’t been invented yet
but Capone always took what he could get
He lived in the Prohibition era
before the days of Mariah Cara
I know that’s supposed to be ‘e-y
but heck I’m a rhyming guy
but back to Chicago and Capone’s tie
was quite big
for an Italian gig
who hated Moran’s Irish jig.
Now Bugsy Moran controlled the North Side
Irish mobsters took people for a ride
and Capone controlled the South Side
no one could tan his Italian hide.
Well ’twasn’t long before the big show down
which certainly outshot any bordello blow down
It was Saint Valentine’s Day
and Big Al said Hey
let’s give Bugsy a little present
and I’m not talking roast pheasant.
For 7 of Moran’s boys
it wasn’t pleasant
they were mowed down like a feudal peasant
mowed down with sub-machine guns
with Capone’s boys moving like they had the runs.
It was 1929 that they bit the dust
same year the markets went bust
Now Capone really knew how to cross the line
when he said to Bugsy Moran,
you’re my Bloody Valentine.
-A poem about the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre
which occurred February 14th 1929
when 7 members of Bugsy Moran’s
North Side Irish Gang
were gunned down in a garage in North Chicago
by members of Al Capone’s South Side Italian Gang
