Grunting and Screaming (maybe in a foreign language)]
I was born a child of the moon, in the year of 1742, the second daughter...
[Second vocals on the background throught the verse, in french maybe]
...Coin coin
My master was ruler of the land, governor, he was [?] where I was born, [?] in the catholic church
The father, the son, and the hooooooly ghost
I watched my parents die of yellow fever
I cut open the womb of my dead mother to return the body still within of my brother, but yet I could not save him
Niggas are for working and not saving, niggas are for working and not saving
This tools of the earth, and the bush, and the moon
I am... coin coin
This tools of the earth, and the moon, and the bush
I was only sixteen, I was only sixteen
There will never be pictures of me
Balthazar, Balthazar, Balthazar, Balthazar...
Oded Fried-Gaon

I'm an easy man. But the final collection of farts makes me a legend. Thank you Matanita.

What's your opinion on this type of jazz, you seemed to like the Spillane John Zorn I sent you a while back
