[Verse 1]
Not long ago it was a buck twenty-five
A buck twenty-five, a buck twenty-five
Not long ago it was a buck twenty-five
If you had a few quarters
You could still stay alive

[Chorus]
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice

[Verse 2]
Sal said he was the best on the Lower East Side
And I used to eat there all the time
But I won't eat my pride
So long Sal, all my love is gone
You might be low and east
But now I know whose side you're on

[Chorus]
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
[Verse 3]
You might say "Hey, it's just pizza, don't get all bent
Why don't you sing about the idiots who pay these rents?
Or how 'bout that George fucking Bush might be the next president?"
But don't you see, to me all that shit is what the pizza represents?

[Chorus]
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice
Jesus fucking christ
Sal's Pizza went up fifty cents a slice

[Verse 4]
Oh so long goodbye
Now I'm gonna have myself a cry
Another piece of my life went to hell today
And you know the reason why
