Jeffrey Lewis - Krongu green slime

^GBefore the land before ^Amtime, ^Cthere was a time before ^Gland ^GWhen the world was just ^Amslime, ^Cand Krongu was the ^Gbrand ^GYes Krongu green ^Amsludge ^Cwas the popular ^Gitem ^GThere might have been better ^Amsludges, ^Cbut no-one ever ^Gtried 'em

^GBought and sold by the ^Amplatter, ^Cgreen slime by ^GKrongu ^GIt was the most popular ^Ammatter, ^Cit was the most popular ^Ghue ^GIt was from sea to ^Amsea, ^Cit was from dawn ^Gto dark ^GIt had thoroug^Amhly cornered ^Call of the ^Gmarket

^GAll other colours ^Amwere in absentia ^Cback in BC ^Gten zillion ^GThere was no puce ^Amor magenta ^Cor chartreuse or ce^Grulean ^GNo red, yellow ^Amor blue, ^Cwell to put ^Git properly ^GThere was green slime by ^AmKrongu, ^Cit was a total mo^Gnopoly

^GIf you'd bought stock ^Amin there oh for a ^Cwhile it would have sky-^Grocketed ^GIt would have been mucho de^Amniro ^Cthat you would have stood to ^Ghave pocketed ^GBut if you missed out on that ^Amship ^Cthen you have my sympathies ^Gkid ^GCos Krongu's value ^Amdipped ^Cas those slimy seas ^Gdid

^GAnd land started to ^Ampop-up ^Cin dribs and drabs at a ^Gtime ^GAnd creatures started to ^Amhop-up ^Cfrom the oceans of ^Gslime ^GKrongu's grip started ^Amslipping ^Cwith this slew of inno^Gvations ^GThere was now compe^Amtition ^Cfrom some new corpo^Grations

^GThere were so many ^Amstyles, ^Cand it all seemed so ^Gnice ^GThese millions of ^Amaisles ^Cof life's merchan^Gdise ^GSome tiny, some ^Amgiant, ^Csome could chirp some could ^Gbuzz ^GRebellious or ^Amcompliant, ^Cwith scales, feathers or ^Gfuzz

^GSome were stupid as ^Amturnips, ^Csome were lowly as ^Gcorals ^GSome had high-minded ^Amconcepts, ^Cdreams and ideas and ^Gmorals ^GSome were fanged, some were ^Amtoothless, ^Csome were sweet, some were ^Gsalty ^GThey were popular but ^Amuseless, ^Cthey were pretty but ^Gfaulty

^GYes I guess I got ^Amfleeced, ^CI got baited and ^Ghooked ^GBy each dream and each ^Ambeast ^Cthat didn't work as good as it ^Glooked ^G'cos each one crapped out and ^Ambroke. ^CBuilt to last? for^Gget it ^GGet a refund? ^Amthat's a joke, ^Cyou can't even exchange for store ^Gcredit

^GSomeone do some muck-^Amraking, ^Can expose, a news ^Gtip-off ^GThis whole store ^Amis a heartbreaking, ^Cfraudulent ^Grip-off ^GForget friends, fam^Amily, dreams, ^Chearts, trees, ^Gbirds, dogs, snakes ^GForget you, ^Amforget me, ^Cit's just cheap stuff that ^Gbreaks

^GAnd in the land after ^Amtime, ^Cand the time after ^Gland ^GThey'll just roll-out the ^Amslime^C in the most trusted ^Gbrand ^GWhen push comes to shove it'll be ^AmKrongu. No ^Cdismissals, no dis^Gbarments ^GNo more tears, no more love, no more ^Amcrew ^Cof disposable ^Gvarmints

^G'Cos before the land before ^Amtime, ^Cthere was a time before ^Gland ^GWhen the world was just ^Amslime ^Cand Krongu was the ^Gbrand ^GYes Krongu ^Amgreen sludge, ^Cwas the popular ^Gitem ^GThere might have been better ^Amsludges, ^Cbut no-one ever ^Gtried 'em
