Marooned

Pull up a flag or light a fire

Or send up a flare

Build me a beacon

Seems there's no other way out of here

Inform the local correspondent

Tell him to phone in

Tell the papers, put it over the air

I'm marooned

build me a schooner or a punt

Or a dug-out canoe

A Sputnik a biplane

Just a rusty jalopy will do

Call the folks and say I'm castaway

I'll even resort to tacking chances

In a hot air balloon

I'm marooned
