Yo… His baseball cap says ‘ ЗНАКИ ’ in bold, And woe to the fool who sees it up close. Nobody knows what the letters mean, But just seeing them sends a chill through the scene. Sin City goes quiet when the strings start creakin’… Everybody knows who’s back. In the City of Sin, everybody knows the fuss, Pinnokio came back — now the whole block’s sus. Wooden shoes click-clack, strolling down the avenue, Gangsters see his nose and go, “Oh no… not you.” He’s got a wooden suit and a splinter-proof grin, Walks into the casino like he already won. The dealers start sweating, the mobsters hit the door, ’Cause every time he tells a lie, that nose hits the floor. That Wooden Bastard! — everybody knows his name, Pinnokio’s back and he’s running the game. That Wooden Bastard! — carved from the hood, Too wooden to be bad, but somehow still misunderstood. He rolls with the puppets, crew lookin’ bizarre, One’s got a yo-yo, one’s got a toy car. They pull up downtown in a tiny wooden ride, Pinnokio says, “Relax, boys — I got this side.” The toughest gangster says, “Man, I ain’t afraid!” Pinnokio says, “Really?” — and his nose gets upgraded. It stretches past the window, knocks over a sign, The gangster looks at him: “Okay, okay, you’re fine.” That Wooden Bastard! — terror in the street, Clack-clack footsteps with a puppet beat. That Wooden Bastard! — legend of the town, He doesn’t need a weapon when his nose comes around. No bullets, no blades, just wood and bad lies, He tells one story and his nose hits the skies. Everybody scatters when he enters the room, Mostly ’cause that nose needs its own ZIP code soon. Now the City of Sin got a brand-new law: When Pinnokio walks by, everybody says, “Whoa!” The cops just shrug — “Man, what can we do?” He’s technically furniture… and he’s wanted too. So if you hear that tap-tap-tap coming down the block, Better check the window, better check the clock. The legend is back, carved straight outta wood Pinnokio the gangster… misunderstood for good. That Wooden Bastard… The nose. The suit. The swagger... Pinnokio’s back.... Everybody behave 😎
