9
Now that's a record
10
Now that's a record
11
Go Jazzy, go Jazzy, go
12
I want to be remembered for the songs that I sing
13
Not only for the humor, but for the knowledge I bring
14
To broaden the horizons of others is why I rap this
15
Enlightening minds with my lyrical tactics
16
In life everything ain't always what it seems
17
But people are enchanted by things that gleam
18
You know, bright fancy cars, big yachts and mansions
19
On the beaches of Aruba with a girlie romancin
20
Now I'm about to tell you a very artistic fable
21
More fun than when you first got cable
22
The moral to be learned from this story to be told
23
Is that everything that glitters ain't always gold
24
On July 11th I was sittin at home
25
Talkin to my girlfriend Geena on the telephone
26
Flippin through the newspaper checkin the news
27
When I saw an advertisement for a Carribean cruise
28
It said, 'Sunny skies and romantic nights
29
On an incredible ship', and I got hype
30
It said it's like the, Love Boat, baskin in the sun
31
Promisin fun for you and for everyone
32
I said, That's dope! Baby, you're down?
33
She said, Yeah, we could leave right now
34
The very next day I put the check in the mail
35
And one week later we were ready to sail
36
The brochure said that the boat was large
37
But it was nothin but a broken down barnacle barge
38
And if it wasn't for my girlfriend, I wouldn'ta went
39
Because the captain was a cross eyed hunchback with a limp
40
The cruise was paid for and the food was free
41
So I said what the hell and set out to sea
42
It didn't take long to notice something was wrong
43
The ship was a mess and we were the only ones on it
44
I didn't wanna panic, so I chilled for a while
45
Till the captain pulled up to what we thought was a deserted isle
46
We looked on to the beach and almost went bezerk
47
We saw 300 natives with spears and grass skirts
48
The said, Hung a dung a digi dung da doa
49
I said, Hey baby, I guess that means get off the boat
50
Their chief said they needed a human sacrifice
51
I said, Well, just take my girl, he-he, syke
52
I was jokin, but things got serious
53
Their leader came out and he was curious
54
He got in my face and his breath was the worst
55
I said, Hey baby, you got some mints in your purse?
56
His breath was stinkin with filthy brown teeth
57
And two big crusty ashy hairy feet
58
The worst thing, he had no toenail on his toes
59
And a big Teradactyl bird bone in his nose
60
I tried to reason with him, he wasn't with it
61
He said, Tenga shanko, that meant, forget it
62
He said, Gunga shang tang da bong da boo
63
That meant 'tonight we're having Fresh Prince stew'
64
Then I saw it, no, it's not
65
The big Indiana Jones people cooking pot
66
I wanted to fight em, but there was no way to beat em
67
I thought to myself, Where's Tarzan when you need him?
68
Just as they were contemplatin cookin us up
69
We had a major struck of luck, a Navy ship pulled up
70
The troops came off and they got us out of the pot
71
And I said to the chief, Yo, I get witcha, hops
72
The guy that rescued us said, I hate to tell you
73
The captain of your ship, he had just escaped from Belview
74
We've been following him and finally we got him
75
We're sorry, there's no way that you can possibly get a refund
76
A thousand dollars and a weekend island drained
77
But a lesson well learned, so let me explain
78
There's a very important message that needs to be told
79
It's that everything that glitters ain't always gold
