The Ballad of Bibliophiles - Parody #10

The Ballad of Bibliophiles

Written by CK

To the tune of "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle"

Just sit right back

And you’ll hear a tale

A tale of a fateful trip,

That started through this library

With books it was equip.

The associate was a literate man,

The director brave and sure.

Five visitors came in that day,

For a three hour tour,

A three hour tour.

They started to get excited,

When they heard there was no cost.

If not for the funding of the tax payers

The library would be lost.

The library would be lost.

They went all over our four floors

Lots to choose in every aisle

With Valerie,

And Tracy too,

And Pat Leach director,

With Scott Clark,

Miss Charlotte and Jeff Tangeman,

Here with bibliophiles.

Original Lyrics - The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle

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.

The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
The Skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.

The weather started getting rough,
But the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.

The ship set aground on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too.
A millionaire and his wife,
A movie star,
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.
