Before the land before time, there was a time before land
G Am C G
When the world was just slime, and Krongu was the brand
G Am C G
Yes Krongu green sludge was the popular item
G Am C G
There might have been better sludges, but no-one ever tried 'em
Verse
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. No dismissals, no disbarments
G Am C G
No more tears, no more love, no more crew of disposable varmints
G Am C G
'Cos before the land before time, there was a time before land
G Am C G
When the world was just slime and Krongu was the brand
G Am C G
Yes Krongu green sludge, was the popular item
G Am C G
There might have been better sludges, but no-one ever tried 'em
