Cruel Sister 2.0 - Thesilée

There was a company at Berkley Square.
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
Two lovely sisters laboured there.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

As one grew dark as it’s the night,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
the younger bleached her hair all bright.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

As one worked hard to earn her bread,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
the younger shared the owner’s bed.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

He told her she was his only love,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
but made the other head of staff.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

The younger said: »That cannot be!
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
The chief clerk’s desk was meant for me!«
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

She told her sister: »O lucky you!
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
Your office has a lovely view.«
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

Then, with her sister by her side,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
walked to the window opened wide.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

As they stood there, that blond-bleached lout,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
she threw her elder sister out.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

She watched her sister float the air
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
And hit the ground at Berkley Square.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

»Your job and office will be mine!«
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
She got them both, which was all fine.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

Two kids did walk along the town
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
And saw the maiden falling down.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

Her corpse was stiffening, growing hard.
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
They robbed her of her credit card.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

The went into a Comtech™ store
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
And bought computer stuff and more.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

Then they wrote software which was great,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
made all of Windows™’ glory fade.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

It was bought by the sister’s company
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
and got installed on her PC.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

But as she switched her computer on,
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
the printer printed all alone.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

First page in blue these words did show:
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
The chief clerk did her sister throw.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

The second page, in letters red
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
said: Soon the murderess will be dead.
– Fa la la la la la la la la la –

Third page said NOW!, all printed black.
– Lay the bent to the bonnie broom –
The murderess fell and broke her neck.
– Fa la la la la la la la la laaaaa –

Eine alte Geschichte in neuem Licht: Mal im Ernst – so eine Harfe aus Haaren und Knochen wär doch auch irgendwie zu eklig, oder?
