[Verse 1]
Emadd9               C/E
       Fat and weak,     what a disgrace,
D/E                         Em
    Guess the champ got too lazy.
Emadd9                                C/E
       Ain't gonna fly now, he's just takin' up space,
         D/E                             Em
Sold his gloves, threw his eggs down the drain.
Emadd9                     C/E
       But he's no bum, he works down the street,
D/E                             Em
    He bought the neighborhood deli.
Emadd9                            C/E
       Back on his feet, now he's choppin' up meat,
       D/E                         Em
Come inside, maybe you'll hear him say:

[Chorus 1]
A/E D/E Am                               Em/B            D/A
Try the    rye or the kaiser, they're on special tonight.
       Am                        Em/B D/A
If you want, you can have an appeti - zer.
A/E D/E   Am                      Em/B               D/A
You might like our salami and the liver's all right,
           Am        Bm7           C   N.C.   E5
And they'd really go well with the rye or the kaiser.

[Verse 2]
Emadd9            C/E
       Never eats while on the job,
D/E                            Em      Emadd9 Em
    He heard it's good to stay hungry.
Emadd9                       C/E
       But he makes a pretty mean shish kebab,
       D/E                         Em
Have a taste, they were made fresh today.

[Chorus 2]
A/E D/E Am                          Em/B                D/A
Try the    rye or the kaiser or the wheat or the white,
      Am                   Em/B D/A
Maybe I can suggest an appeti - zer.
A/E  D/E Am                           Em/B           D/A
Stay a - way from the tuna, it smells funny tonight,
        Am            Bm7            C   N.C.   E5
But you just can't go wrong with the rye or the kaiser.

[Verse 3]
Emadd9               C/E
       So today, his deli comes first,
C6/E  C/E D/E                        Em     Emadd9 Em
Still he  dreams of his past days of glory.
Emadd9                               C/E
       Goes in the back and beats up on the liverwurst,
        D/E                          Em
All the while you can still hear him say:

[Chorus 3]
A/E  D/E Am                             Em/B                D/A
It's the    rye or the kaiser, it's the thrill of one bite,
       Am                        Em/B D/A
Let me please be your catering advi - sor.
A/E D/E Am                         Em/B            D/A
If  you want substitutions I won't put up a fight,
        Am              Bm7         C   N.C.   E5
You can have your roast beef on the rye or the kaiser.
