Greenberg's



lyrics +1987 Mark Cohen



Once there was Greenberg, Al Greenberg's son

He had a deli since 1951

Once he had corned beef sandwiches on rye

Fresh hot pastrami, so luscious, you could die

Where is the deli that Greenberg used to own?



Greenberg's is gone now, killed by the mall

Gone are the blintzes with sour cream and all

Now there's McDonald's and Wendy's everywhere

I ask for corned beef, and all they do is stare

Oh, how I wish we had Greenberg's back again



I know, I know what made him go away

But how can I keep eating these Big Macs every day?

I hear those voices calling in the night:

"Greenberg, I said well-done; can't you get it right?"



So I'll keep on waiting, and each night I pray

For a tornado to blow that mall away

Bring back the deli, never more to part

I'll drink an eggcream, and sing with all my heart-

Burn...ing with passion, for Greenberg's once again!
