The Lyrics

Have you been a ripped-off griftee?
That has gotta hurt.
If you’ve been a ripped-off griftee,
likely you will nurse
much more than a curse, and hope you’ll ’ve found him…

because he is swindling griftees,
but hands aren’t up skirts.
Fingers are in pockets, picking
much sucker net worth.
Got an ethics dearth, takes money mounds in.

He loves crime and he’s not lacking
in the wiles to make it go down.
Your money sacks he’s attacking.
Give this thief a smacks shellacking!!

Everywhere there’s lots of griftees,
many lifted $5s.
He will fleece them; he’s a grifter…
figur’tively swives
griftee guys and wives—
their faith is shaken;
they’re ragin, quakin’.
Their pay’s been taken.
