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.
