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.
