Long Street - The Constructus Corporation

The people of Long Street lived very simple lives

They had wonderful natures, were never impolite

Up until the day the Juju Man came to town

Check it out as I break it down

Misses Lekkerlegs was busy hanging her washing on the line

So what happened next was definitely like the last thing on her mind

An unfamiliar voice behind her said, «How do you do?»

«Now, I’m very well, thanks», she replied, «But now, who are you?»

The strange character in the top hat and a long black coat

Introduced himself politely and then said «On that note

I’d like to show you another something that I doubt you’ve ever seen

Here, take a look at this beautiful machine.»

The strange little gadget started changing like magic

And cleverly made it’s way up to the clothesline

In a blink of an eye, removed the clothes

And spun them around, till they were dry

And had them all folded very neatly in no time

«Oh my!»

said Misses Lekkerlegs, was quite taken back

Very curious about this mysterious character in black

And very soon the whole town was making a scene

About the Juju man and his amazing machine

Something very, extraordinary

Is going to happen at the Long Street Carnival

(Do what I’m telling you)

Something very, extraordinary

Is going to happen at the Long Street Carnival

The next day the Juju man went walking through town

Well aware of what everybody was talking about

He had some time to kill before his appointment a little later with the mayor

So he took this opportunity to socialize a bit

And just between you and me the most surprising shit is about to spark

The strangest things that could happen are coming out the dark

Just when you expect them least, the lies never rest in peace

Anyway, today was kinda like, quite an important day, uh

Everybody had come to see the Juju Man’s special present for the mayor

He greeted the crowd with a bow and opened his big fat sack

And at that, presented the mayor with the black backpack

Everybody standing 'round went «Ooh!»

The mayor put it on and was like «Hmm, what does it do?»

All of the sudden two long metal arms and bright red buttons at the end

Extended from out of the backpack.

«Grab a hold of them, my friend»

The mayor followed this instruction and felt the power surge

As the special, metal wings emerged

Then everybody cried out with glee

As the major took off clumsily, like a bumblebee

Something very, extraordinary

Is going to happen at the Long Street Carnival

(Do what I’m telling you)

Something very, extraordinary

Is going to happen at the Long Street Carnival

(Meanwhile, in the Woods!)

Now, Snufflegruff called an important meeting with the Boom-Band

«Something funny is goin' on, we better do somethin' about it soon, man

There’s a humongous metal fungus spreading, and everyone’s acting weird

And the strangest thing of all is we’re the only ones who can see it

We gotta do something to get everyone’s attention

And hit them with our supernatural frequency selection

We can build a big thing on the back of my grandpa’s donkey cart

And take a nice slow cruise through town with our fat beats pumping hard

And we could call it… uhm… oh, yeah!

The Long Street Carnival!

Cause I know that Juju Man is definitely up to something horrible

Okay, we got quite a lot of stuff to do, so, come on, let’s get busy

The big fish is about to get taken out by some crazy little fishies

The big day arrived as advertised and everyone got with the festive vibe

As he sun rose to bless the sky by shining extra bright

Well Snufflegruff mesmerized these humans with his magnificent vibration

Even some visitors from afar where like, «Man, isn’t this song crazy?»

The speakers bumped as the Boom-Band freaked the funk

And all the smiling people feeling the song, singing along

Without a care in the world, all shouting and clapping

All totally unaware of what is about to happen

Something very, extraordinary

Is going to happen at the Long Street Carnival

(Do what I’m telling you)

Something very, extraordinary

Is going to happen at the Long Street Carnival

The Boom-Band bloomed beautifully that sunny afternoon

The day the machine stopped working was a day no one would forget soon

A terribly dreadful cry pierced through the Long Street Carnival

As the Juju Man emerged from his brand new house on the hill

«GRAHGHG!!!»

he cried like some kind of evil alien newborn

As the Boom-Band's incredible, metaphysical vibe revealed his true form

People screamed as the evil fiend

Morphed into some kinda park-town-prawn-like monster

Watching him emitting a excruciating high pitched squeak like when you cook a

lobster

Most of the crowd scattered, others started praying

But the Boom-Band just kept on playing

The creator rose into the air, squirming and started spraying

This disgusting, smelly yellow stuff as it flew back to its master

With his tail between his legs and everybody lived happily ever after

The End

(So you hit those «alien» takes?)
