Array ( [sid] => 14415 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => THE FLIM FLAM MAN [time] => 2003-03-17 16:00:00 [hometext] => There's something likeable about a true con man. But watch out! Don't try to outwit a pro...he'll always get the best of you! [bodytext] => Watch out people!
Wham wham wham
Here comes that bounder
The Flim Flam Man!

He's dapper, he's dandy, he's smart as he's
shrewd,
Conning and cunning and so he'll delude.
Bamboozle, perusal, ham ham and scram
He'll steal your socks
As fast as he can!

You've got to steer clear
Of the Flim Flam Man.

With top hat and cane
He'll dance you to death.
Round, round and round
You won't catch your breath.

He'll flim you and flam you,
He'll cheat and he'll lie.
Busy, soooo busy,
You'll just love this guy.

A rogue and a scoundrel
He'll fool us - you bet!
Rickety, rackety
He's not through just yet.

Foolery, droolery
Singsong and more,
Before you know it,
His foot's in the door.

Finagling, nageling
Piffery pop,
He'll put on a show
So, best holler "Cop!"

Slippery, dippery
All smiles and brass
Hippity, dippity
Flippity flop
He's sure got the ticket
At this he won't stop.

And so you may say
When all's said and done
He'll not give up easy
Until he has won.

And what does he want?
This flash in the pan
He won't be denied
He's the Flim Flam Man.
