The Lyrics

Another entry from the unreleased archive vault.

Original song on YouTube

This was written quite some time ago, but if it fits...
Charlatan, oh charlatan
I don’t dig your act, all-knowing
I can hear your bullshit growin’
​Think that I’ll succumb to wily charlatan?

Swindle-r, yo swindle-r
My money, intend: you’ll cash in
Shyster, watch your gold tooth flashin’
You think I’m dumb?
Can see through charlatan...

Why you practice quackery, fast talker?
Debonair, cookin’ up your scheme
And will your trickery fool me?
What a leech, ‘ware of charlatan...

Moun-te-bank? Yes! Moun-te-bank!
Quite unusual word we’re plying
Beware bad guy, lest tears be crying
Be on high watch, for he’s a snake oil sales-man
That charlatan
Bad charlatan
