Lyrics[]
All: Well the river turned red, and the mayor wouldn't listen.
(We fade to the mayor and Wyatt playing a game of mini-golf in the middle of the desert. Moe and Aaron pop out from behind the patch of grass.)
Aaron: Let my people go!
Mayor: Never!
Moe: High-ho Sliver, away!....Fore!
(Moe and Aaron leave. The mayor putts the ball towards the hole. Just as it's about to go in, a prairie dog snatches it. Soon, the mayor's golf club, golf bag, and Wyatt's flag are snatched up as well.)
Wyatt: (gasps) Prairie dogs!
(Several prairie dogs pop up on the patch of grass and surround the mayor and Wyatt.)
All: And the prairie dogs spread, and he still wouldn't listen.
(We fade to the mayor sitting and reading a menu at the Café El Paso. Aaron comes up to him and gives him a sandwich and fries.)
Aaron: Let my people go!
Mayor: Nuh-uh!
Moe: High-ho Sliver, away!
(A bunch of grasshoppers come and devour the mayor's food, and start chasing him around the town.)
Mayor: Ah! AAAAHH!!!
All: And the grasshoppers come, and that mayor wouldn't hear it.
(Soon, all the people in the town are being chased by the grasshoppers. We then fade to Aaron and Moe sprinting by the mayor's office.)
Moe: High-ho Sliver, away!
Mayor: You keep away from here, you...huh?
(The mayor sees all the cattle across town are falling over.)
All: And the cattle fell dead, and he still didn't fear it.
(We fade to the mayor in his bathroom, as Moe and Aaron watch from outside.)
Moe: High-ho Sliver, away!
(Suddenly, several purple bumps appear across the mayor's face.)
All: And the pimples came up in every dimension.
(We fade to the clock on the mayor's tower striking high noon. The camera pans to reveal Moe and Aaron standing in the middle of town, as the mayor is heading back to his office.)
Moe: High-ho Sliver, away!
(Suddenly, the mayor sprints into his office.)
Mayor: AAAAHHH!! TWISTER!!
(A giant tornado comes and turns the entire town into a wreck.)
All: And the winds blew in! Still, he wouldn't pay attention.
(We cut back to the singers.)
All: Oh the river turned red, and the mayor wouldn't listen!
And the prairie dogs spread, and he still wouldn't listen!
And the grasshoppers came, and that mayor wouldn't hear it!
And the cattle fell dead, and he still didn't fear it!
And the pimples came up in every dimension!
And the winds blew in! Still he wouldn't pay attention!
(Everyone stops to catch their breath, then they sing at a slow pace.)
All: Moe could not get through! Oh, what could he do?
