SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

'I See Your Future Growing Bigger And Bigger' (Hamburg, Germany) A German clairvoyant is reading his clients' futures by feeling their naked bottoms.  Ulf Buck says buttocks have similar lines to those on the hand, which can be read.  The 39-year-old, who's been blind since he was three, says the bottom is more 'intense' than the hand.  He says a reading can give information about his clients' personalities as well as their future wealth, happiness and health.  Mr Buck from Meldorf, northwest of Hamburg, says he's attracting all kinds of clients including a soap star and a stockbroker.  He also says being blind helps to relax his customers as they know they'll remain anonymous and that he doesn't get a thrill from the buttock reading, adding he's happily married.


He Didn't Have To Read My Palms by Deda
(Tune: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice, recorded by The Lovin' Spoonful)

I went to Hamburg one fine day
I'd heard so much about the place
The fortune teller there, they say,
Must have a touch of Delphic grace --

He said the sun would shine for me from this day forth,
He knew I'd find my soul mate someplace to the north,
yes, of course...

He couldn't even see my face
He showed me to a little booth
I lay down on a guerney tray
And with his hands he felt the truth

He said the time was right for me to find true love,
He saw alignment of the stars above,
through his glove ---

He didn't have to read my palm
He knew my fortune anyway
He felt my rump, his face went calm,
He said my luck was on its way --

He said good friends and wealth would come to me real soon,
He knew my high school sweetheart and our favorite tune
We loved to croon --

His prices seemed a little high
He said it was the going rate
I gave it to him with a sigh
Cuz he said my life would be great

He said I'd marry me a millionaire
So fifty euros, that was only fair,
Put her there....
He didn't have to read my palm
He knew my fortune anyway...(fade)
