WEIRD AL YANKOVIC LYRICS - Isle Thing

"Isle Thing"



Met this fine young thing

At the local Circle K

We 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 hypnotised

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, 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 them called Gilligan

So let's name him after m



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 'im



Just about that time

Telephone began to ring

She said, "Just let it, my machine'll get

We're watchin' the Gilligan's Isle thing



Isle thing

She loves that Gilligan's Isle thing

Isle thing, isle thing, isle thing

Please, baby, baby, please



I like the professor

He always saves their butts

He could build a nuclear reactor

From a clouple' of coconuts



She said, "That guy's a genius"

I shook my head and laughed

I said, "If he's so fly, they 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 embarrasing

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. Hal had it goin' on

But Mr. Hal 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, isle thing, isle thing
