Randy Newman - You can't fool the fat man
Sitting with the fat man
Trying to get a loan
Talking about horses
And the women that we've known
Spitting on the sidewalk
Squinting into the sun
Greeting all the people
Smiling 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"
