[Verse 1]
        
Well, I rang u

p Pantucci, sp

oke to Lu-chi,
            
I gave them al

           
l They needed 

   
to know.
   
If affairs are

 proceeding As

 we're expecti

ng,
            
Soon enough th

           
e weak spots w

    
ill show.
            
I assume you u

            
nderstand that

         
 we have optio

ns on your tim

e,
            
And will ditch

            
 you in the ha

            
rbour if we mu

st:
            
But if it all 

              
works out nice

              
ly, You'll get

              
 the bonus you

 
 deserve
           
From doctors w

  
e trust.

[Verse 2]
            
The Fat Lady o

              
f Limbourg Loo

              
ked at the sam

             
ples that we s


ent
           
And furrowed h

   
er brow.
            
You would neve

              
r believe that

              
 She'd tasted 

            
royalty and fa

me
           
If you saw her

 
 now.
            
But her sense 

            
of taste is su

              
ch that she'll

    
 distinguish w

ith her tongue
            
The subtleties

            
 a spectrograp

        
h would miss,
            
And announce h

              
er decision, W

              
hile demanding

        
 her reward:
           
The jellyfish 


kiss.

[Verse 3]
	           
Now we checked

              
 out this duck

              
 quack Who lai

              
d a big egg, o

  
h so black
           
It shone just 

     
like gold.
            
And the kids f

              
rom the city, 

              
Finding it pre

             
tty, took it h


ome,
           
And there it w

   
as sold.
            
It was changin

            
g hands for we

              
eks till someo

   
ne left it by 

their fire
            
And it melted 

            
to a puddle on

     
 the floor:
            
For it was onl

              
y a candle, a 

              
Roman scandal 

   
oh oh oh,
        
Now it's a poo

l.
