Fat Lady of Limbourg

Well I rang up Pantucci

Spoke to Luchi, I 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 Limbourg

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:

The jellyfish 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-whoa-oh

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

That's what we're paid for

That's what we're paid for

That's what we're paid for here
