Our Souls Are Cheap Today

Hi Soupers, For the tune to this write just copy and paste; La Donna E Mobile Pavarotti. The write only follows the first part of the rigoletto, ie, the main tune, so don’t try and make it fit the whole thing, coz it don’t lol. My thanks to Mr Mozart for providing the music, and the souper whose comment sent me off into an arty evening that went on into the wee hours, once you get on that you tube you can’t get off it can yer, is worse than PS. lol Our Souls are Cheap Today Our souls are cheap today Cheaper than yesterday Business is poor they say For their sins we must pay Where did it all go wrong Sweet turn to sour their song One day the world is up Next day we’ve empty cup Soon the world turns around Bills going up not down Frantic to payments meet Job seeking, worn out feet The big boys they understand Fate deals them a great hand Vast riches it will bring Hear the new song they sing And they sing and sing and sing Arseholes are cheap today Cheaper than yesterday They’ll bring profits our way They work for much less PAY Hip hip, hip hip, HOORAY
