Lyrics for Song: Isle Thing
Lyrics for Album: UHF [1989]
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.
Said, 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
Must've 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 them castaways
I think I'd probably kill him.
Just about that time, the 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 liked 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 wh
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 love 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 lookin' kinda fat.
He'd throw a fit and then he'd hit ol' Gilligan with his hat
Mrs. Howell got it goin' on, but Mr. Howell was meaner
Ginger and Mary Ann 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 say up late,
And watch the Gilligan's Isle Thing.
Isle Thing
Hasta la vista, little buddy.
Gilligan's Isle Thing.
