All the garbage was t' be picked up, folks couldn't have no run-down houses no more, the streets was all levelled off an' paved. Shark-eye gets some o' these renegade Elf interior-decorator-types in t' bee-yootify the town, an' sooner'n you can snarf a watermelon, droves of architects are swarmin' in, a-goo-gooin' an' a-ga-gain' over this an' that, handin' out medals an' ribbons an' awards an' such fer such purty designin'.
