... Is Sung His Instructions to the Tune Of That Old Favorite, 'Hambone'
Curveball, Curveball, what they lack
Are excuses to attack.
Your assignment's crystal clear:
Tell them what they yearn to hear.
Curveball!
Curveball, Curveball, worry not
That baloney's all you've got,
Or that you're a boozy wreck.
Tenet doesn't care to check.
Curveball!
