Well I rang up Pantucci spoke to Lucia
|
Gave them all they needed to know
|
If affairs are proceeding as we're expecting
|
Soon enough the weak spots will show
|
I assume you understand that we have options on your time
|
And will ditch you in the harbour if we must
|
But if it all works out nicely, you'll get the bonus you deserve
|
From doctors we trust.

The Fat Lady of Limbourgh
|
Looked at the samples that we sent
|
And furrowed her brow
|
You would never believe that
|
She'd tasted Royalty and Fame
|
If you saw her now
|
But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
|
The subtleties a spectrograph would miss
|
And announce her decision while demanding her reward
|
A jelly fish kiss.
|
|
|
Now we checked out this duck quack
|
Who laid a big egg oh so black it shone just like gold.
|
And the kids from the city finding it pretty
|
Took it home and there it was sold
|
It was changing hands for weeks
|
Till someone left it by their fire
|
And it melted to a puddle on the floor
|
For it was only a candle a Roman scandal
|
Oh oh and now it's a pool.
|
|
|
That's what we're paid for
|
That's what we're paid for
|
That's what we're paid for here.
