The Lyrics
He’s a swindler, a pay-take,
gullible in his power.
When they wake up, they glower,
feeling financial pain.
He has taken then, that’s clear.
They realize a bad fear,
and now they’re shedding sad tears—
they’re robbed in a short time.
He’s a grifter, a Dei fake
And what’s worse: He’s once more free
to continue on more sprees;
he will keep up the grift—
his fortunes lift.
In any venue,
he has got a theft menu.
He’s a swindler, a Dei fake.
Take care—he’ll swindle you!
gullible in his power.
When they wake up, they glower,
feeling financial pain.
He has taken then, that’s clear.
They realize a bad fear,
and now they’re shedding sad tears—
they’re robbed in a short time.
He’s a grifter, a Dei fake
And what’s worse: He’s once more free
to continue on more sprees;
he will keep up the grift—
his fortunes lift.
In any venue,
he has got a theft menu.
He’s a swindler, a Dei fake.
Take care—he’ll swindle you!
