Band: Randy Newman
Album: Little Criminals
Song: You Can't Fool The Fat Man

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"
