12
Now that's a record!
13
Go Jazzy, go Jazzy, go
14
I want to be remembered for the songs that I sing
15
Not only for the humor, but for the knowledge I bring
16
To broaden the horizons of others is why I rap this
17
Enlightening minds with my lyrical tactics
18
In life everything ain't always what it seems
19
But people are enchanted by things that gleam
20
You know, bright fancy cars, big yachts and mansions
21
On the beaches of Aruba with a girlie romancin
22
Now I'm about to tell you a very artistic fable
23
More fun than when you first got cable
24
The moral to be learned from this story to be told
25
Is that everything that glitters ain't always gold
26
On July 11th I was sittin at home
27
Talkin to my girlfriend Geena on the telephone
28
Flippin through the newspaper checkin the news
29
When I saw an advertisement for a Carribean cruise
30
It said, 'Sunny skies and romantic nights
31
On an incredible ship' - and I got hype
32
It said it's like the _Love Boat_, baskin in the sun
33
Promisin fun for you and for everyone
34
I said, ";That's dope! Baby, you're down?";
35
She said, ";Yeah, we could leave right now!";
36
The very next day I put the check in the mail
37
And one week later we were ready to sail
38
The brochure said that the boat was large
39
But it was nothin but a broken-down barnacle barge!
40
And if it wasn't for my girlfriend, I wouldn'ta went
41
Because the captain was a cross-eyed hunchback with a limp
42
The cruise was paid for and the food was free
43
So I said what the hell and set out to sea
44
It didn't take long to notice something was wrong
45
The ship was a mess and we were the only ones on it
46
I didn't wanna panic, so I chilled for a while
47
Till the captain pulled up to what we thought was a deserted isle
48
We looked on to the beach and almost went bezerk
49
We saw 300 natives with spears and grass skirts!
50
The said, ";Hung-a-dung-a-digi-dung-da-doa";
51
I said, ";Hey baby, I guess that means get off the boat";
52
Their chief said they needed a human sacrifice
53
I said, ";Well, just take my girl - he-he - syke";
54
I was jokin, but things got serious
55
Their leader came out and he was curious
56
He got in my face and his breath was the worst
57
I said, ";Hey baby, you got some mints in your purse?";
58
His breath was stinkin with filthy brown teeth
59
And two big crusty ashy hairy feet
60
The worst thing, he had no toenail on his toes
61
And a big Teradactyl bird bone in his nose
62
I tried to reason with him, he wasn't with it
63
He said, ";Tenga-shanko,"; that meant 'forget it'
64
He said, ";Gunga-shang-tang-da-bong-da-boo";
65
That meant 'tonight we're having Fresh Prince stew'
66
Then I saw it - no, it's not
67
The big Indiana Jones people cooking pot!
68
I wanted to fight em, but there was no way to beat em
69
I thought to myself, 'Where's Tarzan when you need him?'
70
Just as they were contemplatin cookin us up
71
We had a major struck of luck, a Navy ship pulled up
72
The troops came off and they got us out of the pot
73
And I said to the chief, ";Yo, I get witcha, hops!";
74
The guy that rescued us said, ";I hate to tell you
75
The captain of your ship, he had just escaped from Belview
76
We've been following him and finally we got him
77
We're sorry, there's no way that you can possibly get a refund";
78
A thousand dollars and a weekend island drained
79
But a lesson well learned, so let me explain
80
There's a very important message that needs to be told
81
It's that everything that glitters ain't always gold
