The Lyrics
A faux line, then guy’s gonna invade your world.
A swine, he’s gonna put you through hell.
After he’s ripped you off, he’ll be out of your sight.
He’ll abuse your behind, then the grifter takes flight,
the grifter takes flight.
Some crimes happen, then the crook gets away.
Pelf time for him, leaving you in a daze.
He roped you in then bolted, leaving you behind.
He’ll have used your behind, then the grifter takes flight,
the grifter takes flight.
He ain’t slow to go once he has scarfed up lotsa treasure.
He’s on the lam, enjoying thieving pleasure.
The faux kind—just like a dervish he would whirl.
A swine…you missed his obvious tells.
After he’s ripped you off, he will skip out of sight.
He’ll abuse your behind, then the grifter takes flight,
the grifter takes flight.
Scum’s crimes happen, then the crook gets away.
Wealth time for him, leaving you with nerves a-frayed.
He roped you in then bolted; for you, ’tain’t condign.
Now you’re in a soup line, and you kip out at night.
You’re ripped off alright. The grifter took flight. He’s skipped far from sight.
A swine, he’s gonna put you through hell.
After he’s ripped you off, he’ll be out of your sight.
He’ll abuse your behind, then the grifter takes flight,
the grifter takes flight.
Some crimes happen, then the crook gets away.
Pelf time for him, leaving you in a daze.
He roped you in then bolted, leaving you behind.
He’ll have used your behind, then the grifter takes flight,
the grifter takes flight.
He ain’t slow to go once he has scarfed up lotsa treasure.
He’s on the lam, enjoying thieving pleasure.
The faux kind—just like a dervish he would whirl.
A swine…you missed his obvious tells.
After he’s ripped you off, he will skip out of sight.
He’ll abuse your behind, then the grifter takes flight,
the grifter takes flight.
Scum’s crimes happen, then the crook gets away.
Wealth time for him, leaving you with nerves a-frayed.
He roped you in then bolted; for you, ’tain’t condign.
Now you’re in a soup line, and you kip out at night.
You’re ripped off alright. The grifter took flight. He’s skipped far from sight.
