lyrics

SPACE ELEVATOR MUSIC
JACK: Mayor Monkey. Is this an elevator in the middle of our album?
MAYOR MONKEY: Yeah, it is an elevator. A Space elevator!
JACK: Why is there an elevator here?
MAYOR MONKEY: It's an innovation! Taking people from the earth all the way to the stars! In 50 yrs, there'll be a space elevator in every home!
JACK: OK. But Maymo it's not 50 yrs from now. Ah, why is the Space Elevator in the middle of this album.
MAYOR MONKEY: Well I had an idea. You know it's going to be a long journey. They're going to need some soothing music along the way. They'll need some elevator music.No wait, they're gonna need some space…elevator music. And that, that's just what this is behind us.
JACK: Maymo, I don't really know about this.
MAYOR MONKEY: Ah, I worked on this while you guys were out in the studio. Ahh, I just played around on the keys a little bit. Oh yeah, pretty funky, huh-huh-ho! Well anyway, so I was thinking. You know as a new business adventure for Recess Monkey, you boys should play this kind of music, whadd'ya think?
JACK: Well I mean we just made this album. This Final Funktier, that… people are listening to right now. I, I, we're really not due for another album for at least three or four weeks.
MAYOR MONKEY: You don't need to make a… album. You're gonna play right here in the elevator!
JACK: Here? You, you want us to actually play here, in the elevator?
MAYOR MONKEY: Yeah! Live! Live music in an elevator! People will love it!
JACK: Mayor Monkey, it.. it's going to take at least 12 hrs to get all the way up into space.
MAYOR MONKEY: No, it's great! You'll love it. Hey, anyway you can live here too. It's pretty nice. Uh, I went ahead and rented out your rooms.
JACK: Wait! What,wha. You rented out our rooms? Are you kidding?
MAYOR MONKEY: You have this beautiful space elevator to live in now? It's gorgeous!
JACK: I can't believe you would do that without … Hey, hey Drew!
DREW: Yeah?
JACK: Drew, Mayor Monkey rented out our rooms!
DREW: What?
JACK: Yeah! Yeah, he said that he wants us to live in the Space Elevator!
DREW: He what?
JACK: I know!
DREW: Yeah whatever.
JACK: It's ridiculous!
