Intro G Am C G G Am C GVerse G Am C G Bought and sold by the platter, green slime by Krongu G Am C G It was the most popular matter, it was the most popular hue G Am C G It was from sea to sea, it was from dawn to dark G Am C G It had thoroughly cornered all of the market G Am C G All other colours were in absentia back in BC ten zillion G Am C G There was no puce or magenta or chartreuse or cerulean G Am C G No red, yellow or blue, well to put it properly G Am C G There was green slime by Krongu, it was a total monopoly G Am C G If you'd bought stock in there oh for a while it would have sky-rocketed G Am C G It would have been mucho deniro that you would have stood to have pocketed G Am C G But if you missed out on that ship then you have my sympathies kid G Am C G Cos Krongu's value dipped as those slimy seas did G Am C G And land started to pop-up in dribs and drabs at a time G Am C G And creatures started to hop-up from the oceans of slime G Am C G Krongu's grip started slipping with this slew of innovations G Am C G There was now competition from some new corporations G Am C G There were so many styles, and it all seemed so nice G Am C G These millions of aisles of life's merchandise G Am C G Some tiny, some giant, some could chirp some could buzz G Am C G Rebellious or compliant, with scales, feathers or fuzz G Am C G Some were stupid as turnips, some were lowly as corals G Am C G Some had high-minded concepts, dreams and ideas and morals G Am C G Some were fanged, some were toothless, some were sweet, some were salty G Am C G They were popular but useless, they were pretty but faulty G Am C G Yes I guess I got fleeced, I got baited and hooked G Am C G By each dream and each beast that didn't work as good as it looked G Am C G 'cos each one crapped out and broke. Built to last? forget it G Am C G Get a refund? that's a joke, you can't even exchange for store credit G Am C G Someone do some muck-raking, an expose, a news tip-off G Am C G This whole store is a heartbreaking, fraudulent rip-off G Am C G Forget friends, family, dreams, hearts, trees, birds, dogs, snakes G Am C G Forget you, forget me, it's just cheap stuff that breaks G Am C G And in the land after time, and the time after land G Am C G They'll just roll-out the slime in the most trusted brand G Am C G When push comes to shove it'll be Krongu.
