A fairytail once written by Grimm's
but details, retails, rewritin'
versions retold twenty times over
like kabbalistic teachings
the difference is in the margins
a footnote overlooked.
Yet I wondered for a while and some
the fluteplayer came to Hammeln
but which city did he originate from?
It's a mystery indeed, bewilderment
but perhaps it's not truly important,
from somewhere to elsewhere -
Playin' the magic flute and the trolls
danced to the brothel song
payin' for a moment of pleasure
in the royal grand casino
Ah! Remember, the hook is the ball
then a guilty conscience.
Hocus pocus, the whores got pregnant
but the children vanished,
they went back to the city which was
before Hammeln,
and came back twenty years later,
then claimed their inheritance.
