THE MAN IN THE GABERDINE SUIT

He meets you with a smile
and he's putting on the style
in his zoot suit
He makes another deal
and he's authorized to steal
in his zoot suit
If there's something left to take
he's prepared to cut the cake
makin'plans, if he can
he's the man in the gaberdine zoot suit
So you write another song
but you know before too long
he'll be digging up the loot
he's the man in the gaberdine suit

He's always in demand
but he's there to shake your hand
in his zoot suit
He's calling you his friend
or at least he will pretend
in his zoot suit
If the tricks are in the book
he's prepared to take a look
making plans, if he can
he's the man in the gaberdine zoot suit
So you're giving him a chance
but you know at second glance
he'll be diggin up the loot
he's the man in the gaberdine suit

If you're heading for a fame
he'll be part of all the game
in his zoot suit
When you know that someone lied
who'll be standing by your side
in his zoot suit?
When your money disappears
He's been foolin' you for years
Makin'plans, if he can
He's the man in the gaberdine zoot suit
When he's asking for a song
He'll be told to move along
You'll be diggin' up the loot
you're the man in the gaberdine suit
