Lyrics


BRANDS
Have you got it?

MOGUL
Yeah, it's right here

BRANDS
A complete accounting?

MOGUL
Yes of course
Every one of Anchor’s gaffes
Cataloged in my report

BRANDS
Read it to me

MOGUL
It’s rather lengthy

BRANDS
Well then just the craziest stories 
He caused to spring like Athena

BRANDS & MOGUL
Into life from his head

MOGUL
First we had that week the sun never set

BRANDS
Such a long tiring day

BRANDS & MOGUL
Then the heat wave soaked us all in sweat

MOGUL
Who could forget that gang of wild goats
That robbed several banks

BRANDS
I never really understood
How they shot those guns with hooves

BRANDS & MOGUL
Who knows, who knows

MOGUL
Then there was that economic crash
When cotton candy got used as cash

BRANDS
That sugar standard almost cost me my ass

BRANDS & MOGUL
Alas, alas

His crazy talk
Has got to stop
It’s just too dangerous

This crazy talk
We’ve heard enough
The Baron is extraneous

MOGUL
He nearly wrecked the fashion world
Bringing bell bottoms back in style

What about the night the beer bottles grew legs
And danced on the tavern bars

BRANDS
I rather liked that one

MOGUL
But it ended badly when the tango began

BRANDS
All foam and broken glass

MOGUL
And now our current crisis

BRANDS & MOGUL
The pending drop in our stock price
His crazy talk
Has got to stop
It’s just too dangerous

This crazy talk
We’ve had enough
The Baron is extraneous
Anchor is extraneous
The Baron is extraneous

MOGUL
So then what should we do?
We can’t just kill him

BRANDS
Sure we can 
If we want

MOGUL
But appearances must be kept
No indication we are involved

BRANDS
Perhaps a poison
Something subtle

MOGUL
I have an idea
Let me check
Yes, yes right here
“Scandalium, effects only the most famous of personalities”

BRANDS
Sounds promising

MOGUL
“In significant quantities
Causes paralysis and loss of face
Death is nearly instantaneous”

“Undetectable at lower dosages
Which weakens the heart
Any shock or surprise
Will induce a fatal attack
See appendix B
Dosage table three”

MOGUL
Appendix B
Appendix B

BRANDS
Dosage table three
Table three
Table three

MOGUL
Looks like all we need

BRANDS & MOGUL
Is just seven drops

Just seven drops 
And one big shock
Should do the deed
Just seven drops

What can trigger his heart attack?
Maybe Diva has a comeback

The Baron's heart could not withstand
Diva's return to fame
Just seven drops to guarantee
Anchor becomes history

His crazy talk
Has got to stop
It’s just too dangerous

This crazy talk
We’ve heard enough
The Baron is extraneous
Anchor is extraneous
The Baron is extraneous

MOGUL
I'll have my Dark Minion handle this task
She is exceedingly discreet
Let your voice ring out in Mediastan, become part of our project to crowd source the musical performance of The Media Lords
