Chapter 4: We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands
We find the mayor Lemongrab with his assistant Bonnibel in his office. Suddenly the door opens and it reveals to be two people from germany. "Ah mister mayor!" the older one said. "Who are you?" "We are 2 people who have a proposition for you. We would like to rid this city of rock music and build a store that will make this town better." he explained. "I'm listening!" "Mayor, we don't really know the first thing about these people, or even what they want to build!" his assistant said.
Simon's verse:
Say you don't know me,
(Music starts)
Or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes
To that kind of place
Bonnibel's verse:
Knee deep in the hoopla
Sinking in your fight
Simon's verse:
Too many runaways
Simon & Bubba's verse:
Eating up the night!
Simon's verse:
Marconi plays the mamba
Bonnibel's verse:
Listen to the radio!
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on-
"Clean, efficient living?" the mayor asked "Exactly!" Simon responded "But Mayor, think about the businesses already there! What about them!?"
Meanwhile
We find ourselves in the Bourbon where Jermaine is explaining the situation. "They're calling it economic redevelopment. Apparently the Bourbon no longer generates an adequate tax revenue." "That's why I keep telling ya we need to bring back Naked Jello Wrestling Thursdays! But this time, check it, we let women enter." Jake suggested "Sigh maybe it's time to cash it in anyway-" "Whoa, Jermaine?! What are you saying?!" "I'm not saying I want to."
Jermaine's verse:
It's just I'm sittin' on this barstool
Talkin' like a damn fool!
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope
For the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy?
"So chew a couple Prozac! Come on, Jermaine!" Jake said
Jermaine:
Is it any wonder I'm sane at all?
"You do wash your hands a lot." Finn responded
Assembled:
Is it any wonder I've got too much
Time on my hands
Jermaine's verse:
And it's tickin' away
Jake's verse:
Tickin' away from me!
"Hold the phone! You guys see who's in today's paper?!" Jermaine asked. Finn then picks up the paper and reads the article "Monster rockers, Arsenal, are breaking up. According to sources, lead singer, Marshall Lee, will leave the band after this tour to pursue a solo career." "Perfect right? Jake who gave Marshall and Arsenal their start?" "We did so?" "So? What if we hosted their last gig…ever." "The last Arsenal show here?!" "Tell that wouldn't generate an adequate tax revenue. Plus, Marshall still owes me from that hotel incident with the Cool Whip and the baby llama." "Love it." "I just hope it's enough." "It's gotta be I mean the mayor isn't a total money-grubbing whore. Wink."
Back at the mayor's office
"Mayor, you're not thinking clearly." Bonnibel said "Mayor, take ze money unt-"
Simon & Bubba's verse:
Rid this city!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Bonnibel shouted.
Lemongrab, Simon, & Bubba's verse:
Rid this city of rock and roll!
Bonnibel's verse:
Not this city
"Bonnibel, you're fired." he shouted
Lemongrab, Simon, & Bubba's verse:
We'll rid this city of rock and roll!
She was then kicked out of the mayor's office. "You're not gonna get away with this!" she shouted.
Back at the Bourbon
"I can't believe you still have his number." Jake said "Marshall? It's Jamie." "Who?" "Jermaine, Jermaine DiMaggio. Listen, how would you like to do your Arsenal farewell show here at The Bourbon?" "Yeah, well we already got something planned for our last tour gig in Portland. So ah-" "I understand that. but just imagine for a second your last gig in a place that started it all. A lot of press on something like that." he explained "Yeah it sounds cool but ah-" "And of course, we'd put your name above the band. Marshall Lee and Arsenal. One night only. Right before a solo , just between you and me, I'm so glad you're doing. You know what I always used to say about you." "What?"
(The music stops.)
"...Uhh"
(Music starts)
Jermaine's verse:
Well, you're a jet fuel genius
You can solve the world's problems
Without even tryin'
"It's true." Marshall responded
Marshall Lee's verse:
I have dozens of friends
And the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buyin'
Is it any wonder I'm not the president?
"I'd vote for you, Marshall." Jermaine said
Marshall Lee's verse:
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
"I don't even know what that means." Jermaine said
Assembled:
Is it any wonder I've got too much
Time on my hands
Jermaine's verse:
And it's tickin' away
Jake, Jermaine, Finn's verse:
Tickin' away from me!
Assembled:
Too much time on my hands!
Jermaine's verse:
Tick, tick tickin' away!
Assembled:
Too much time on my hands
Marshall Lee's verse:
I don't know what to do
Assembled:
Too much time on my hands
Simon, Lemongrab, Bubba's verse:
We will rid this city!
Assembled:
Too much time on my hands
Bonnibel, Simon, Lemongrab, & Bubba's verse:
Of rock of roll!
Assembled:
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time
(Music stops)
"Shall I call zee bulldozers?" Simon asked "Remember the night you *#!* with the baby llama?" Jermaine asked "...I'll do it." the mayor and rock star said at the same time.
Author's Note: I sometimes feel the same as Jermaine and I feel like leaving this site. But that doesn't mean I'm actually going to. Oh no I'm gonna stay on this site for as long as I can. But anyways I got bad news I'm going on vacation for a week and wont be able to update my stories.
