FZ: The name of this song is "Stranded In The Jungle." Yes, yes, yes . . .

I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date,
With my little girl who was back in the States
Stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone,
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted, and my girl in Lover's Lane?

Meanwhile, back in the States . . .

Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know, your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, stranded as he can be
So, come on pretty baby, just you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle . . .
The boys in the jungle had me on the run,
When something heavy hit me, like an atomic bomb
When I woke up, and my head started to clear,
I had a strange feeling I was in cooking gear
I turn around and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was a-cooking me

Great googa-mooga! Let me out of here!

Meanwhile, back in the States . . .

Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know, your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, stranded as he can be
So, come on pretty baby, just you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle . . .
Well, I jumped out the pot, and I finally got away
Frantic with worry about what my baby'd say
So, I jumped in the ocean and I started to swim
But my chances of survival were getting mighty slim
So, I thumbed down a whale who was heading my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
Now when I got to Lover's Lane, I was almost dead
But my soul was gone, and here's what I said:

Baby, baby, the man is no good
Oh baby, baby, you should have understood
You can trust me as long as I'm free,
So, come back pretty baby where you used to be
'Cause I love you,
'Cause I love you,
'Cause I love you,
'Cause I love you,
'Cause I love you,
'Cause I love you,
'Cause I love you

FZ: Awright awright awright awright . . . Now, let's-- let's shift gears now and go into something else. You-- you won't, you won't believe this, ladies and gentlemen, we're actually going to release a single off of this next album. This is a song-- This is a song that gives advice to the lovelorn, some very specific advice to the young gentlemen in our audience who definitely wanna get laid. This is a-- This is a virtual instruction booklet on how to do it. Okay. The name-- And I know you all need some help, just from up here looking at ya, I know you could use some help. So if you'll-- If you'll follow these instructions carefully I'm sure something will happen to you. The name of this song is "Find Her Finer."
