about 90 years ago
there was a banker here his name was
thorpe
he made his fortune cheating the poor he
was a mean man he was a he was a cool
man
it was him and his family and a couple
of servants
name of mama cecile
and papa justified
now
the way i heard it old man thorpe he
didn't know
that papa justifier was a two-headed
doctor
he was a conjurer man
and so was cecile
they believed in
that was their room
oh they were famous all through the
pipes
they healed the sick and they hurt the
mean
he hit a straight lick with a crooked
stick as a color and say
but old thorn
he just saw him as hell
and he worked him to the bone
he abused him
until one night
as the story goes
there was a party
it was the bank's anniversary all the
big muckety mucks were here
politicians sugar bands riverboat
tacomas
there was a lot of drinking and dancing
and a couple twists i'm sure
and then finally
when it was time to say farewell some of
the guests wanted to wish goodbye to the
children
but nobody could find him they hadn't
seen him in hours
so being all full of brandy they made it
a game let's find the children
finally
someone heard music
and voices
and shout
[Music]
their servants were up there with the
children
they were trying to teach him how to
conjure up
i mean
how only this blasphemy been going on
the children said it was their fault
that they had wanted to learn
but they weren't having any of that
all that power
reach
insanity
party was over
[Music]
