A sinful life I have led But it earned me buttered bread And that's really what matters In the end I am washing my hands But I'd like to make amends To the two of my dearest Of friends And the parrot will fly back to the jungle And the monkey will follow his example They'll be happy like pirates at a tavern When debauch starts to turn into a rumble I have nothing to say Let them be on their way I just hope they don't end up As prey I have treasures untold Spices, jewels, silk and gold But they bring me no happiness At all
