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 griftet
And that’s all you’ll ever be»
