(Hagen)
I have the perfect part for Johnny
This part will make him a big star
(Woltz)
I will not cast him in my movie
How bizarre!
(Hagen)
I think that you should do this favor
Your union headaches are not small
(Woltz)
Nothing you do can convince me at all
(Hagen)
Choose wise or fret
We're not through yet
Sneaky are our ways
(Woltz)
Fontane's a pain to my remembrance
So my decision never sways
(Hagen)
Be nice, big shot
Lesson, be taught
Quickly brought to tears
One reason might find under cover
Waken to realize your worst fears
(Hagen)
Last bit of wisdom I can give you
Take the offer, the easy way
(Woltz)
Last bit of wisdom I can give you
Go away!
(Hagen)
I'll go tell ol' Don Corleone
(Woltz)
Tell him he'll get no parts from me
(Hagen)
I'll convey your message and then we'll see
(Woltz)
Asleep in bed
Wake up, horse head
Who would put this here?
Corleone didn't like my answer
Now my Khartoum is dead
Oh dear!
I have the perfect part for Johnny

"One reason might find under cover." Very good job of overlaying the original with a clever meaning.
Thanks Rick and John.
