Verse 1
Hustlin' from town to town packin' a wagon of lies
Dirty cheat will drag the wool right over your eyes
Larry stooge in the crowd singin' the blues
Put on a show playin' everyone for fools
PreChorus 1
Everybody likes him
Nobody knows why
All he's sellin'
They wanna buy
Chorus
Watch out, for the Charlatan Man
Crafty little fellow, he got style
Watch out for the Charlatan Man
Charm, wit, painted on smile
Verse 2
He will take your money easy with no remorse
Take what he is peddlin', or be a corpse
Day-breaks, he is already gone
Lea-ving behind an angry mob scorned
PreChorus 2
Nobody likes him
It's gonna get rough
They're on the hunt now
Gonna string him up
Bridge
Swindler
Con man
Grifter on the loose
Burnin' all his bridges
Swingin' from the noose
PreChorus 3
He's pulled his last con
Now he swings in the breeze
He got whats comin'
No more dirty deeds
