Isle Thing - "Weird Al" Yankovic

Met this fine young thing at the local Circle K

She made a date for a half past eight and I said, «What the hey?»

So I journeyed to her crib and I let myself inside

That chick was slouched down on the couch, I think her brain was fried

Couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t even look at me

Then I saw her eyes, she was hypnotized, cold glued to her TV

«Hey, what’s your problem, baby doll, let’s have a little fling»

She said, «Hey, you fool, now just be cool

I’m watchin' that Gilligan’s Isle thing»

Isle thing, isle thing

Watchin' all night, musta been a marathon

I was bummin', those shows kept comin', here’s what was goin' on

These castaways were stranded on this island out at sea

One of 'em called Gilligan, said, «Let's name it after me»

He’d mess up every rescue, man, that first mate was illin'

If I was one of those Castaways, I think I’d probably kill him

Just about that time, telephone began to ring

She said, «Just let it, my machine’ll get it

We’re watchin' the Gilligan’s Isle thing

Isle thing

She loves that Gilligan’s Isle thing

Isle thing, please, baby, baby, please

I like the professor, he always saved their butts

He could build a nuclear reactor from a couple of coconuts

She said, «That guy’s a genius,» I shook my head and laughed

I said, «If he’s so fly, then tell me why, he couldn’t build a lousy raft?»

And while we’re on the subject, I’ll tell you one thing for sure

Those homeboys brought an awful lot for just a three hour tour

Then her mom came in the room, it was kind of embarrassing

She said, «Hey, you two, I was once like you

And I loved that Gilligan’s Isle thing»

Isle thing, she’d watch that Gilligan’s Isle thing

Please, baby, baby, please

Skipper’s in a hammock, he’s looking kinda fat

He’d throw a fit and then he’d hit old Gilligan with his hat

Mrs. Howell got it goin' on, but Mr. Howell was meaner

Ginger and Mary Anne could’ve used some funky, cold medina

I was really diggin' this show, I didn’t know what to do

It kinda looked like I was hooked, now I’m an addict too

I know each episode by heart, now I’m the rerun king

And on every date we both stay up late

And we watch the Gilligan’s Isle thing

Isle thing, hasta la vista, little buddy

Gilligan’s Isle thing
