The World’s Full of Suckers

Lyrics
[DUKE & DAUPHIN] Tra-la-la-la, the world's full of suckers Waitin' around for us to take 'em in Tra-la-la-la, there're so many suckers That a man with brains don't even know where to begin They're all throughout the country And every land abroad The world is full of fall guys And lucky us, we're full of fraud! Tra-la-la-la, we're out after suckers Singin' a song of larceny, tra-la Paddlin' up the muddy river of life we go Tra-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la Lookin' for dough! Tra-la-la-la, the world's full of suckers Walkin' around with dough they wanna lose Tra-la-la-la, there's so many suckers That the only job is pickin' a method to use The decent folk are working They toil without a fuss We love to see 'em working They're only making more for us Tra-la-la-la, we're out after suckers Singin' a song of larceny, tra-la Over the crooked byways hither and yon we dash Tra-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la Lookin' for cash Whence this feeling that fills the air? What this fragrant ravishing perfume? Whence this magic that's everywhere? Don't you know? The suckers are in bloom Tra-la-la-la-la, the sucker season is in bloom Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la La-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la-la, the world's full of pigeons Beautiful, juicy, feather-headed game Tra-la-la-la, there're so many pigeons You can knock 'em off and not even bother to aim Wherever there's a sucker Is where we have a date For money, money, money Oh, we'll go anywhere but straight Tra-la-la-la, we're out after suckers Singin' a song of larceny, tra-la Over the road of life we go with our flag unfurled Tra-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la Clippin' the world!
