Sittin' with the fat man
|
Tryin' to get a loan
|
Talkin' about horses
|
And the women that we've known
|
|
Spittin' on the sidewalk
|
Squintin' into the sun
|
Greetin' all the people
|
Smilin' at everyone
|
|
I said "Hey, listen, Fat Man
|
I just can't get a break
|
Must I pay my whole life long
|
For just one mistake?
|
|
"My brother's in the armed forces
|
My sister is in jail,
|
Won't you give me fifty dollars
|
So I can pay her bail?"
|
|
He said "You Can't Fool The Fat Man
|
No, you can't fool me
|
You're just a two-bit grifter
|
And that's all you'll ever be"
|
