Con Man (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1976 Contraband

He split the racket to operate on his own
He set them up, stripped them and then he was gone
He’s a Robin Hood of a new century, if you’re rich and dumb you bleed boy

Con man got a bloodhound nose for flaws, profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy, if you’re clever you can beat them all
If you’re clever you can beat them all, beat them all, you can beat them all

Sister tell your mister to hold on to his change
Hustler call him hustler, Con man rides again
Bandits he’s the bandits, settin’ up a frame
Sister tell your mister to hold onto his brains

Con man’s mastermindin’ on a brand new heist, blueprintin’ through the secret files
Your tune ain’t gonna be so nice when he gets through with you
There’s one thing left to do, he’ll take it away
One money hungry night, your longs are gonna be his guidin’ light
He’ll be foolin’ us all if we don’t watch out

Leavin’ his lies, spreadin’ doubts all about, look out

Con man got a bloodhound nose for flaws, profits from both sides of the law
I feel sympathy for his philosophy, if you’re clever you can beat them all
If you’re clever you can beat them all, beat them all, beat them all

Sister tell your mister to hold on to his change
Hustler call him hustler, Con man rides again
Bandits he’s the bandits, settin’ up a frame
Sister tell your mister to hold onto his brains

Con man’s masturbatin’ on a brand new heist, somebody’s in for a big surprise
Your wrongs are gonna be his right, when a pro’s at a con, he’s the devil’s son
‘Cause he’ll take it away one money hungry night, your longs are gonna be his guidin’ light
He’ll be foolin’ us all if we don’t watch out, leavin’ his lies, spreadin’ doubts all about
He’s the devil’s son, he’s the devil’s son

Sometimes I think I’m gonna study that game, be a Con man myself some day
There’s just one thing botherin’ me, I might be conning myself, by the way
It’s a quarter past five and that’s no jive, I’m glad we’re all still alive, bye now
Look out, he’s spreadin’ those doubts all about, all about, all about
He’s the devil’s son, tell me devil’s son
He’s the devil’s son
