Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Books
Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Books

When you expect whistles, it`s flutes
when you expect flutes, it`s whistles.
What various paths are followed in distributing honors and possessions
she gives awards to some and penitents cloaks to others.
When you expect whistles, it`s flutes
when you expect flutes, it`s whistles
Sometimes she robs the chief goatherd af his cottage and goatpen
and to whomever she fancies the lamest goat is born to kids

When you expect whistles, it`s flutes
when you expect flutes, it`s whistles.

Because in a village a poor lad has stolen one egg.
he swings in the sun
While another gets away with a thousand crimes

When you expect whistles, it`s flutes
when you expect flutes, it`s whistles.
