Greatest Trick from Greatest Trick by Red Skelly

The greatest trick that the devil did play
Was convincing he never existed
And the greatest trick that the bank ever played
Is that they have your best interest
In mind, oh, in mind
They have your best interest in mind
In mind, oh, in mind
They have your best interest in mind

The greatest trick that the boss ever played
Is that they just can’t afford it
And the greatest trick that the CEO played
Is that he should be rewarded
On my dime and my time
Rewarded with what should be mine
On my dime and my time
Rewarded with what should be mine

The greatest trick that the man ever played
Is that he is worthy of pity
And the greatest trick that the cops ever played
Is that they protect this city
Of mine, oh, of mine
Protect this great city of mine
Of mine, oh, of mine
Protect the whole city of mine
