My mom always said you can't
cheat an honest man, can't con a
It's not a lie my love
if they believe you.
It's not a lie, it could be true.
tell them anything dear and wrap them around your finger an
d take them for what they've got before they leave you.
Well I used to be a gambler but
the odds were never good
None in my
My lucky stars were never my best feature
I rely upon
So I cut it out with cards
And I was working much too hard
And I was born to live
the life of leisure
Let's take this sleepy town by storm
And when the sheep have
all been shorn
We'll be gone just like the
gentle breeze of yesterday
With your skills and my good looks,
those fish will be begging for the hook
Filled in by our seduct
ive serenades
The
Bible says
God's creature's our
lookout for number one
It's human nature
This rule has been my bread and butter
What you do, do unto
You may plan to double -cross me,
but I'm sticking with this horse
If the con is long enough,
it doesn't matter
Let's take this sleeping town by storm and
when the sheep have all been shorn
We'll be gone just like the
gentle breeze of yesterday
With your skills and my good looks those
fish'll be begging for the hook
Wielding by our seductive serenade
Well I go by many names dear
and some call me a snake
To others I'm the
closest of their friends
When they ask me about my livin'
I give them no misgivin'
Cause what I trade in is
their confidence
Since we met I don't know
if I've fallen for you baby
Or if you set me up to take the fall
Love is just another con,
a fairy tale to lead them on
But together, baby,
maybe we could love them all
Let's take this sleeping town by storm
And when the sheep have
all been shorn
We'll be gone just like the
gentle breeze of yesterday
With your skills and my good looks
Those fish will be begging for the hook
Reeled in by our seduct
ive serenade
Let's take this sleeping town by storm
