[verse 1: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
my mama always said
you can’t cheat an honest man (can’t con a con)
it’s not a lie, my love, if they believe you (it’s not a lie, it could be true)
so tell them anything, dear (tell them what they want to hear)
and wrap them ’round your finger
and take them for what they’ve got before they leave you

[verse 2: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
well, i used to be a gambler
but, the odds were never good (not in my favor)
my lucky stars were never my best feature (i rely upon my charm)
so, i cut it out with cards (and dice and betting at the races)
i was working much too hard
i was born to live the life of leisure

[chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
let’s take this sleepy town by storm
and when the sheep have all been sh-rn
we’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday
with your sk!lls and my good looks
those fish’ll be begging for the hook
reeled in by our seductive serenade

[verse 3: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
the bible says god’s creatures
all look out for number one (it’s human nature)
this golden rule has been my bread and b-tter (what you do, do unto others)
you may plan to double cross me (slip a dagger in their back)
but i’m sticking with this horse
if the con is long enough it doesn’t matter

[chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
let’s take this sleepy town by storm
and when the sheep have all been sh-rn
we’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday
with your sk!lls and my good looks
those fish’ll be begging for the hook
reeled in by our seductive serenade

[verse 4: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
well, i go by many names, dear
and some call me a snake (b-st-rd, cheat, and saint)
to others, i’m the closest of their friends (i keep my enemies much closer)
when they ask about my living (exactly what is it you do?)
i give them no misgiving
’cause what i trade in is their confidence

[bridge: ellia bisker & jeff morris, both]
since we met i don’t know if i’ve fallen for you, baby
or if you’ve set me up to take the fall
love is just another con
a fairy tale to lead them on
but together, baby, maybe we could love them all

[chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
let’s take this sleepy town by storm
and when the sheep have all been sh-rn
we’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday
with your sk!lls and my good looks
those fish’ll be begging for the hook
reeled in by our seductive serenade

[chorus: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
let’s take this sleepy town by storm
and when the sheep have all been sh-rn
we’ll be gone just like the gentle breeze of yesterday
with your sk!lls and my good looks
those fish’ll be begging for the hook
reeled in by our seductive serenade

[refrain: ellia bisker & jeff morris]
reeled in by our seductive serenade
reeled in by our seductive serenade
