Lyrics

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
