"This is another new song we'd like to do for you now. It's a, tells the
6
story of a lovely cruise ship couple. You know in November, the snowbirds
7
start heading south down there, and you've seen them with the matching belt
8
and shoes, condo commandos, you know. So uh, hey that's good shit. I smell
9
it, alright, ooh. We better start this song before I get hungry. This is
10
called 'Morris' Nightmare'."
11
Down in the islands where the happy folks stay

Everybody do what Bwana Jim say

He say its ok, it's ok

You can do what you wanna

Do what you like

Twist a big ol' number
17
Ride a motorbike
18
It's alright, It's alright
19
Dance to the drum
20
Drink a lot of rum
21
Love till you come to a stop
22
Swing like a monkey in a coconut tree
23
Sing like the dolphins in the deep blue sea
24
Sing it's alright, it's alright
25
-- Spoken:

"How does Fred Neil do it? Come on Jay Spell"
27
You know people in the city got nowhere to go
28
They used to go to bars now they go to Discos
29
No, no, no disco (uh-uh, no)
30
They never see the sun
31
They hardly see the moon
32
They barely see the ground 'til the snow melts in June
33
Uptight, It's out of sight
34
So they save a little money
35
Take a little trip
36
They only see the islands from a tacky cruise ship
37
Buy a little liquor
38
Buy some sea shells
39
Husband tries to sleep
40
Wife just yells
41
Morris, you can sleep when you get home
42
Down in the islands where the happy folks stay
43
Everybody do what Biwana man say
44
He say its ok, it's ok
45
It's alright, it's alright
46
Do what you wanna, do what you like

-- Spoken:
48
"Morris! Oh for Christ's sake Morris, you can sleep when you get home. This
49
is supposed to be a vacation you know. We come all the way down to Miami. We
50
could go someplace nice like SeaWorld. I would like to go see, Tony Orlando
51
is playing in Miami Beach. We could do some nice things like that. But no,
52
what do we do, we have to go down to this goddamn swamp. This is a swamp
53
Morris. You call this an island? This is a resort? It's full of mosquitoes
54
and bugs and just is terrible Morris. Are you listening to me?"
55
"Bitch, Bitch, Bitch!"
