Parody Song Title:

"Grifting Plenty Is What They Have in Mind"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Grifting plenty is what they have in mind…
rip you off, run; and you’re stuck without a dime.
These conners are sleazy; robbing you’s their crime…
Grifted. Empty chest is what you then find.

They’ll take it out of your financial hide.
Played for a chump…they’ve taken you for a ride.
You’re left in derangement; big tears you’ll have cried.
It’s yourself that you will then be beside.

Such crimes as stealing mean these guys confiscate your money;
they snare all they please from some feckless dummies.
And although they stink and are merciless jerks,
they fool folks…stolen funds…they’re good at their work.
Then they will go and leave victims far behind,
ripped off and bummed, with not much to do but whine.
These robbers are sleazy; connin’ you’s their crime
Grifted. Wealthlessness is now on your mind.

Chumps find, this is a risky world that’s ridden with grifters.
And they can get impacted by putrid purse-lifters.
They fool you then gather up most of your dimes.
Some folks fecklessly stow dough then fall for a line.

They’ll take it out of your financial hide.
Played for a chump…they’ve taken you for a ride.
A wretched arrangement; big tears you’ll have cried.
In the end, it’s yourself you must deride.
