You Can't Fool the Fat Man

Sittin' with the fat man

Tryin' to get a loan

Talkin' 'bout the horses

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

That's all you'll ever be

You can't fool the fat man

No, you can't fool me

You're just a two-bit grifter

That's all you'll ever be
