Lets lift a glass to profits
Gold pressed latnium sings
Sell your mother if it befits
A good contract has no strings

We Ferengi are a greedy lot
Making deals are our best fun
We stop earning when we rot
We sell anything under the sun

The universe is our bowl of fruit
The urge for gain has no soul
Forget friendship show us the loot
We lust for more money to fold

(smiling) hmmm..I think I have heard this sung in other places by other people as well... maybe it at times seems a universal song

You ferengi take folding stuff now? It used to be we could only trade with silver and gold.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

(smiles) You never stop amazing me with your wonderful words, sweet friend, I continue to be a big fan of you as you always share versatile talents, this too reminded me of many movies I watched on the Ferengi and how they made cunning bets, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I can hear all those coins jingling in your pocket, the ones that vainly try to sound louder than your heartbeat.
Well done, Paladin.

I was never much for the Ferengi.  Vulcans and Klingons were more my style.

Thank you.

The ferengi always reminded me of dwarves. So it's fitting that the song reminds me of that old dwarf classic: Gold, gold, gold!. Not to be confused with the new dwarf pop tune: Gold, gold, gold!
