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
