The Gothic Archies

Shipwrecked

I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do

Than to be cast away on an island with you

No, I can't think of anything more heavenly

Than to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me

Shipwrecked with you

Shipwrecked with you

I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do

Than to be cast away on an island with you

Far from distractions and matters of state

We can quit smoking and quickly lose weight

Sleeping till noon and then staying up late

At latitude zero and longitude eight

I am a gentleman; should you get hurt

I'll make a tourniquet out of my shirt

You needn't do much, just sit there and flirt

And if it looks drizzly, I'll build us a yurt

I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do

And that's why I had to get rid of the crew

So I lopped off their heads

And dropped them into the sea

Just to have you

Shipwrecked on a tropical island with me

Shipwrecked with you

Shipwrecked with you

I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do

And that's why I decapitated the crew

How could I know there's no island nearby?

If I don't eat something soon, I'll just die

I wouldn't eat you, oh, never, not I!

So let's catch a shark and I'll make us a pie

What shall we use for bait? Lend me a hand

I'll sew it back on when we get to land

But if the shark takes it, that would be grand

(Because we won't starve to death, you understand)

I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do

To end up shipwrecked on an island with you

No, there's nobody I wouldn't kill, nobody

Just to have you

Shipwrecked on a tropical island with me

Shipwrecked with you

Shipwrecked with you

I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do

To end up shipwrecked on an island with you

Again...
