Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Book Lyrics

Black Tape For A Blue Girl Fortune Presents Gifts Not According To The Book

Fortune presents gifts not according to the book
Fortune presents gifts not according to the book

When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles

What various paths are followed in distributing honours
and possesions
She gives awards to some and penitent's cloaks to others

When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles

Sometimes she robs the chief goatherd of his cottage and
and goatpen
And to whomever she fancies the lamest goat has born two
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 and another gets away with a
thousand crimes

When you expect whistles it's flutes
When you expect flutes it's whistles
