Brother's Got A Brand New Gig

My Brother Jersey ratted me out,

To Mom, to my wife, and to Edvard;

So I thought I’d reveal his new job,

I try to be nice, but he makes it hard!

He was really down in the dumps

“Cause he couldn’t find him a job

So he thought about robbin banks

Or workin for the East Coast mob

But he was recently approached

By some government Big Wigs

“Hey, you old Jersey Devil Ed,

How about a brand new gig??”

So now, he’s workin as a super spy

For some secret government agency

You best watch, what you’re a sayin

If you still treasure, your own privacy

Lately, he’s been cruisin the Strip

Out there, old Atlantic City way

So, be real careful who you talk to

At those trendy, Boardwalk cafes

Ya just never know who might be listenin

And who might be, in that cute sun dress

I hear that after he buys you a few drinks

He’s recordin every crime that you confess

My Real Devilish Brother, Jersey Devil Ed,

My Lord, he’s got himself a brand new gig;

He’s gettin real good at changin his disguises,

And wearin all sorts of brightly colored wigs!

(Brother Edvard Told Me All This,

So I Gotta Believe, That It’s True.)

(And My Good Old Pal, Rufuz,

He Sent Me This New Photo, Too.)

But Even a Sly Old Jersey Devil Has To Eat, I Guess…

And Don’t Ya Just Love His New Pink Hat??!!

He sounds dangerous, but he looks like a carnival operator I saw once here in FL. At least you'll see him coming on the boardwalk!
Can't imagine it pays...or that your brother loves you much!
Funny, you Eds.

If he wants to dress like a hooker-it is ok. He made many dollars in the strip club.That is where he got the money to buy the gun

Actually P-wee is wrong,
I am actually on the payroll for the mob,
Hey they let me wear a sarong,
The government only promised I could wear a thong,
So before ya start writing crazy stuff,
You better make sure of what I do for the mob, my job...

I bought a big long gun with a silencer,
And took lessons from Edvard's book,
So when you pick on me in the future,
Over your shoulder and all around you better for me look...ed
