"They'll take your love and your money,
They'll take your sug'r and your honey.
They'll take ya' skinny or fat,
Why are people like that?"
And since it's such a good one, we'll even throw in a bonus verse, from the song's close:
"They'll take your dog and your car,
They'll promise you'll be a star.
They'll break your heart and leave you flat,
Why are people like that?
I don't know why they act like that,
Why are people like that?
Don't be like that..."
