YA GOTTA RE-TYPE IT

Muzak intro vamp playing from a cheap ceiling speaker over dialog...
Johnson & Brooks enter the Slip Code™ lavatory mumbling worriedly about their impending meeting with “The Boss”.
A “lunch boy” is at one of the standing stalls taking a whiz.

Brooks:
Oh god...

Johnson:
Yeah I don’t know what the heck his problem is.

Brooks:
Do you have any idea why he likes to hold meetings in the bathroom?

Johnson:
I’m gettin’ scared. I don’t know what he wants...(mumble)

Brooks: (mumbling)
Shhhh, quiet here he comes.

The lavatory door swings open. Enters “The Boss”
(Toilet sounds fill the tiled ambiance.)

The Boss:
Boys, I’m gonna kick it to ya free style. Now we’re going down and we’re going down fast. Now Slip Code™ used to kick ass up and down the entire length of this ship but now, not one of our shows can get arrested.
I need a hit on my desk in the next three minutes and fifty seven seconds.

Johnson: (stuttering)
What about like X-Files™ meets 90201?

The Boss:
No son. That’s yesterday’s papers. We want cutting edge here.

Lunch Boy:
How ‘bout a show called “Alien Love Boat”?

The Boss:
Slammin’! Who is that kid?

Johnson:
Ahh, he’s the lunch boy sir.

The Boss:
Ahh well not anymore son. Say, what size desk do you wear?

Brooks and Johnson (excitedly):
Whoa, Whoa...Now ...now..

Brooks:
Now Johnson and I can have something steaming in your hands...

Johnson:
Teach it!

Brooks:
In two minutes and fifty seven seconds!

The Boss:
Show me the magic proper boys. I don’t wanna have to give you the glad axe.

He used to work the underground
A stoolie for the heat
She used be his lost and found a darling of the street
Romantic couple finds the winning ticket and goes crazy on the town...
Maybe this premise needs a fresher angle but the dead line is right now

Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah

Before it’s too darn late for me to change their fate
Now maybe there’s this alien who abducts the lead
He corrupts the internet and plants a demon seed
Romantic couple stumbles on to secrets where the mother-ship resides They save the world with little trepidation but the demon child survives

Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah

Before it’s too darn late
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah
Before it’s too darn late for us to change their fate
Ya gotta re-type it yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ya gotta re-type it yeah!!!

Now here’s a secret you oughta know
I got a sequel ready for prime time!
It’s kind of cheesy but it’s got a flow
Lots of sex and whole lot of cheap crime

Romantic couple needs a happy ending to forget about their lives
And these writers need their bread and butter
So they’ll play it safe one more time!

Before it’s too darn late for you to change your fate
