Shivaree - The Fat Lady Of Limbourg lyrics

Well, I rang up Pantucci

Spoke to Luchia

I gave them all

They needed to know

And 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

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 then 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 then 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

It melted to a puddle on the floor

For it was only a candle

A Roman scandal, oh, oh, oh

Now it's a pool

That's what they're paid for

That's what they're paid for

That's what they're paid for here

That's what they're paid for

That's what they're paid for

That's what they're paid for here
