No can do sorry
What do you mean?
You promised
We’ve run out
Run out?
How can you run out of something like that?
Well we have so you’ll just have to wait
Oh and we’ve lost the recipe too
Oh no!
It’ll never be the same now
No it might be better- but just man made in stead of the natural stuff
Human beings can’t fake something like that can they?
Course we can, it fools 90%of people 90% of the time
Look, why do you have to choose that anyway?
Couldn’t we offer you music?
Or money?
Or even sex?
We’ve plenty of those here!
No, my leader said to get the best there is on your planet
Your money is dirty,
Your sex is ridiculous
And your music is frightful to our ears
So back to the order then.
Enough for 3million alien life forms
Enough synthetic product for 30000 of your light years...
Nah forget it!
If you can’t provide the real thing we’ll settle for the best of the rest of the planets.
What will you tell your leader then?
I’ll just tell him there isn’t quite enough of it on earth to go round
And that they'd better solve the crisis soon
And whatever they do
they’d better not try
Faking
Love
