You Can't Fool The Fat Man

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"
