GILLIGAN'S WAKE

just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip
that started from this tropic port
aboard this tiny ship

everybody needs a little buddy
everybody needs a little buddy
everybody needs a little buddy
a first mate aboard this tiny ship

everybody needs a skipper to keep an even keel
everybody needs a skipper to hold on to the wheel
to give your back a slap and to hit you with his cap
everybody needs a skipper, everybody needs a map

CHORUS

everybody needs a millionaire to help you foot the bill
everybody needs a millionaire to put you in his will
some sugar to fall back on through the troubles in your life
everybody needs a millionaire... and his wife

CHORUS

everybody needs a country girl to know what the city's worth
everybody needs a country girl to bring them down to earth
when dawn wells up and storms come on and take you to extremes
everybody needs a country girl to show you what it means

CHORUS

everybody needs a movie star to glamourize the scene
everybody needs a movie star on your own silver screen
a little taste of ginger to whet the appetite
everybody needs a movie star to get you through the night

CHORUS

everybody needs a professor who knows what's going on
everybody needs a professor when your perfect world is gone
someone to fix the radio with coconuts and pearls
everybody needs a smart guy who won't go after the girls

CHORUS

back to the fawmlist.
