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

He was 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"
