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"
