abe vigoda abe vigoda

In honor of A Man Called Fish on the seminal sit-com
"Barney Miller" and its aptly named spin-off, "Fish."

The Abe Vigoda Fan Club was formed with two goals in mind.
1: Sing the praises of Abe Vigoda.
2: Smuggle diamonds out of Botswana.

We achieved a 50% success rate in our endeavors.
And we did a whole bunch of drinking.

(legato, with great reverence)
Never won a Tony
or an Oscar too.
Never won no Golden Globe
but we still love you,
Abe Vigoda.

He was in "The Godfather"
and that "Barney Miller" show.
Only good thing about "Look Who’s Talking"
and "Joe Versus the Volcano"–
Abe Vigoda.

(bridge, shouted with gusto)
Nuclear meltdown!
School kids smoking crack!
Abe could make it better!
We gotta bring the Fish back!

(legato, even greater reverence than before
if such a thing is possible)

Fuck Hal Linden.
Fuck Max Gail too.
Fuck Steve Landesberg.
Screw you, Jack Soo.

Bite me, Ron Carey,
bite me on the ass.
And while I’m on the subject
go to hell, Ron Glass–
You’re not Abe Vigoda.

(la Ronde!)

Fuck Laurence Olivier
Fuck Al Pacino
Fuck Jeremy Irons
Fuck Robert DeNiro
Fuck Ian McKellan
Fuck Ray Liotta

They’re not Abe Vigoda.
