You Can't Fool the Fat Man Lyrics & Tabs by Randy Newman

You Can't Fool the Fat Man

guitar chords lyrics

Randy Newman

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

"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"
