Now it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals Yes, I've had the odd complaint But on the whole I've been a saint To those poor unfortunate souls Have we got a deal? If I become human I'll never be with my father and sisters again But you have your man, hm hm hm Life's full of tough choices in it, hm hm hm hm hm Oh, and there is one more thing We haven't discussed the subject to payment But I don't have any I'm not asking much Just a token within trifle What I want from you is... your voice! But without my voice how can I...? You have your looks Your pretty face And don't underestimate the importance of body language, hah! The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on! They're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man Come on, you, poor unfortunate soul! Go ahead! Make your choice! I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much, just your voice You poor unfortunate soul It's sad but true If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet, you've got to pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, Now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul! Beluga seruga come winds of the Caspian Sea Larynxus glausitis et max laryngitis la voce to me Now sing
