G                      Am    C                       G 
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
