Fat Lady Of Limbourg - 2004 Digital Remaster

Lyrics

Well, I rang up Pantucci, spoke to Lu-chi
 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 'til 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
 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
