You Cant Fool The Fat Man Lyrics by Randy Newman

You Cant Fool The Fat Man Lyrics

    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"
