Song Lyrics:

Track 03: The Ballad of Gallahads

Aliens:

We destroyed it like he said
Voltran will be so proud
With the Gallahad boss dead
No one will stop us now

Vice Principal:

Whats going on there?
I cant help myself but stare
Be aware, but beware
Of how warily I dare

To be seen at the scene
Meaning not to intervene
Just a spy, just an eye
Nosy knows not when to pry

Pizza Boy:

This has never happened before
I dont know quite what to do
Maybe Ill just call my boss
Im sure hell help me through

Hey boss, its me
I just wanted to see
What I should I do
The house exploded in front of me
I still got these pies
Boy they look nice
Should I bring them back?

Boss (on cell phone):

No, no! No, no!
What are you some kind of idiot?!

No, no! No, no!
I give you money
And you bring the pies

No, no! (OK, Boss!)
No, no! (Sure thing, Boss!)
What are you, some kind of idiot?

Pizza Boy & Boss:
(Pizza Boy is cautiously entering the premises, while Vice Principal is spying from afar.)

The house is burning down
The house is burning down

The flames are all around
The flames are all around

Theres something on the ground
Theres something on the ground

What in the name of Jeez Louise is this Ive found?
What in the name of Jeez Louise is this hes found?

Brinkley (Dying alien):

Hello, delivery guy, Im glad that you came in
I am about to die, and Im an alien!

Pizza Boy:

Would you please tell me why your house was blasted in?

Brinkley:

Sit down and listen, I was about to begin

On the planet Kliftane
I was born and raised
Parents taught me good
I was fond of food

So much that I had a great design
A clean, affordable place to dine

I opened it when I was twenty-six
Named it after my dad, called it Gallahads

Then we began to expand
To other galaxy stands
So much damn profit in my pocket

But I was never one to love money
So I put it all back in the company

We made our food real healthy
And kept our prices low
Thats when we crossed some other folks
(Who you now know)

Did you see that guy in the big spaceship?
His name is Voltran; hes a piece of shit

He runs our competition
Theyre called Galaxios
They only care about money, and it shows

A few years back, they started pushing us around
And all our rival stores fought in rival towns

We came to Earth to find pizza
The food that you all love
To win in business we need something highly spoken of

After you were going to deliver it
I was gonna take it to my guy and split

But you gotta do it for me
Bring it to my guy
Youll notice him hes got three thousand eyes

Youll do fine, boy!
Youve just gotta hurry, theres not a lot of time!
To Clams Casino!
