Dear Madame Maenad, in answer to your ad
I enclose a cheque for eleven pound, ten
My time of birth is nine twenty-three a.m.
Dear Madame be clear
Will I be rich next year
Please send me my birth chart in the s.a.e.
And I'll allow fourteen days for delivery
Up above Venus is in my house
I'm in love with an Aquarius
In the sky, Mars is in retrograde
I'd be richer if that cheque wasn't paid
Dear Miss Rosa Lee
Tell me my destiny
I enclose my vibes with a print of my palm
I'd like the full works, plus the box of assorted charms
Dear Rosa, don't stall
Look in your crystal ball
Please send the tea cup back, as it's part of a set
It's wrapped in cellophane, near the gris-gris and amulet
Up above, Venus is in my house
I'm in love with an Aquarius
In the sky, the moon is in perigee
I'd do better with a fortune cookie
Up above, Venus is in my house
I'm in love with an Aquarius
In the sky, Mars is in retrograde
I'd be richer if that cheque wasn't paid
