The Lyrics
’Tis a grift to be swindled
’Tis a grift to be fleeced
’Tis a grift when chumps’ trust funds
are skunk-decreased
Schmucks relinquish their wealth
To swindlers outright
Voluntarily and don’t put up a fight
They take duplicity sans shame
As they get hoodwinked in a con game
They’re burned, learned nothing from their plight
Still what’s earned they turn over
Ain’t seen the light
And bankroll’s light
’Tis a grift to be fleeced
’Tis a grift when chumps’ trust funds
are skunk-decreased
Schmucks relinquish their wealth
To swindlers outright
Voluntarily and don’t put up a fight
They take duplicity sans shame
As they get hoodwinked in a con game
They’re burned, learned nothing from their plight
Still what’s earned they turn over
Ain’t seen the light
And bankroll’s light
