Welcome to the Grand Fair

[Intro - Studio Tuning Ambience, Distorted Brass Fanfare & Sitar Drone] [Verse 1 - Lead Vocal (Wobbly Leslie Rotary Effect) & Punchy Melodic Bass] Step right up, the tent is high, the sky is turning green! The grandest show that Abbey Road has ever heard or seen! We brought the brass, we brought the strings, we tuned up every key, So sit right down and let your mind float down a purple sea! [Chorus - Full Group Harmonies & Soaring Horns] Welcome to the grand fair! Turn the music loud! There's magic in the atmosphere and color in the crowd! Welcome to the grand fair! Let the rhythm spin! The tape is on the reel today, so let the show begin! [Interlude - Swirling Calliope Organ, Sitar Glides & Tape Loop Edits] [Verse 2 - Lead Vocal & Walking Direct-Injection Bassline] Old Captain Clack is on the drums, he’s playing out of time, While Mister Jones is juggling thoughts that never seem to rhyme! The organ swirls, the trumpet roars, the ceiling starts to sway, We’ll turn the clock to 1967 and sail away! [Bridge - Slow Trippy Tempo Shift, Indian Tambura Drone & Cellos] Ahhhhhhh... floating on a cloud of sound... Where up is down and lost is found... Listen to the sitar ring... Hear the golden calliope sing... [Chorus - High Energy Band & Punchy Horn Fanfare] Welcome to the grand fair! Turn the music loud! There's magic in the atmosphere and color in the crowd! Welcome to the grand fair! Let the rhythm spin! The tape is on the reel today, so let the show begin! [Outro - Heavy Overdriven Guitars, Screaming Brass & Fade Out on Crowd Applause] Let the show begin! Floating down the purple sea! (Grand orchestral crescendo crashing into sudden tape-stop edit)
