Lyrics

[00:20.49] Well, I rang up Pantucci
[00:24.91] Spoke to Lucia
[00:27.24] I gave them all, they needed to know
[00:33.57] And if affairs are proceeding
[00:38.38] As we're expecting soon enough
[00:42.69] The weak spots will show
[00:47.30] I assume you understand that we have options on your time
[00:54.23] We'll ditch you in the harbor if we must
[00:59.91] But if it all works out nicely
[01:04.78] You'll get the bonus you deserve
[01:09.23] From doctors we trust
[01:17.28] The Fat Lady of Limbourg
[01:21.71] Looked at the samples that we sent
[01:26.80] And furrowed her brow
[01:30.74] You would never believe that
[01:35.80] She'd tasted royalty and fame
[01:39.22] If you saw her now
[01:43.90] But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
[01:50.89] The subtleties a spectrograph would miss
[01:56.89] And then announce her decision
[02:02.11] While demanding her reward
[02:06.19] The jellyfish kiss
[02:20.48] Well we checked out that duck quack
[02:25.11] Who laid a big egg, oh so black
[02:29.25] It shone just like gold
[02:33.55] And then the kids from the city
[02:38.16] Finding it pretty, took it home
[02:42.66] And there it was sold
[02:47.28] It was changing hands for weeks till someone left it by their fire
[02:54.10] It melted to a puddle on the floor
[03:00.30] For it was only a candle
[03:05.50] A Roman scandal all along
[03:09.65] Now it's a pool
[03:15.42] That's what they're paid for
[03:17.93] That's what they're paid for
[03:21.23] That's what they're paid for here
[03:28.75] That's what they're paid for
[03:31.85] That's what they're paid for
[03:35.22] That's what they're paid for here
