6. Ballad: Albert Giuseppe

Albert Giuseppe, Contro’s Boss,

Many soldiers in his big family,

Once famously robbed the dockers,

Reaping in plentiful prosperity. 

Come government, dealers, traitors,

Old Albert will be waiting steady 

Many disappear in Contro,

Reaping in plentiful prosperity.

Always contributing earnings,  

Dusts his coat off when things are heavy,

Everyone respects old Albert,

Reaping in plentiful prosperity. 

Understanding the criminal system, 

Letting protection for a levy, 

Each gangster must pay his due tribute, 

Reaping in plentiful prosperity.
