You Can`t Fool The Fat Man — текст песни (Randy Newman)

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
