Obviously, a musical of "the Godfather" would be a bad idea. Seems like it'll happen eventually, though, right? Here, in very rough demo form, is a song for the opening scene.

****
I believe in America, it’s where I earned my wealth.
But when I raised my daughter, I was careless of her health.
I wanted her blessed with freedom; her choices were unwise.
She went out and found boyfriends, and they blackened her eyes.

(That is unfortunate. You’ve called a cop?)
No, I want the kind of justice where they stop.
You know domestic violence charges get dropped.
But deadly revenge, it lasts … and I hear you can’t be topped.

(You’ve come to me, upon my daughter’s wedding —
Fool paisan, you’ve really shit the bedding.
You gathered up the gall to ask a favor;
Consider getting smarter, son, not braver.
Have you once asked me for coffee? Or to chat?
No, you’ve been too full of paradise for that.
I’m just here to build a nice life for my honey,
and you? you’d have me murder, for money?)

Forgive me for intruding; it’s just I pine for justice.
(Your daughter lives, so killing someone seems like quite the fuss, yes?)
We’re off on the wrong foot here; drop by sometime for drinks,
Let’s talk while we watch football and you’ll tell me what you think.

(Such disrespect! I’m not some ATM:
you speak a code, and then I grant your wishes.
You didn’t care, until I might condemn
your daughter’s boyfriend to sleep with the fishes!)

You are right and I am wrong, so let me kiss your ring.
And however belatedly, it’s time you hear me sing
what I owe to my godfather {GODFATHER!}
You are my godfather {GODFATHER!}

(Sigh… my mood’s too good. I may regret it,
But you’ve timed your wish so well, I think you’ll get it.)
You utterly can trust my reciprocity!
(Someday I’ll call you to repay your debt to me.
As your foes’ body parts meet swift dispersal,
You’re lucky our skills need the odd rehearsal.
I’ll give you this, and withdraw my objection.
Just hope nobody’s beefing with *you* next, son.)
