'Stranded,' a parody of the theme song....


When I was a kid at Scout camp, we used to go into the latrine and steal the toilet paper. Then when some poor luckless soul wandered in to do #2, we'd serenade him with the theme song, with altered lyrics:

Stranded, deep in the toilet bo-o-o-owl,
What do you do when you're stranded,
And you ain't got a roll?

To prove you're a man
you must use your hand!

Stranded, deep in the toilet bo-o-o-owl,
what do you do when you're stranded,
And you ain't got a roll?

It came back to haunt me when I taught it to my kids, proving the efficacy of karma.

Anytime we needed T.P., they'd automatically start singing it, kind of like when they start playing "Here comes the bride..." and everybody, including the groom, is thinking, "big, fat, and wide." We added the lyrics, "If she could fly, she could alter the tide."

"Now kiss her lips,
check out those hips,
If she could fly,
she would be an eclipse!"

"Stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl. What do you do when you're stranded, and you can't reach the roll? To prove you're a man you must wipe with your hand."

I remember the above lyrics in elementary school and they are better than the ones listed above.

What do you do when your stranded and there's no paper on the roll.

To prove your a man you must wipe it with your hand. Stranded. On the toilet bowl.

Yes, that was an elementary school classic. There was one for Daniel Boon too. But I won't sing that one here.

LOL!! This brings back memories. Our school's version was slightly different.

Stranded, sitting on the toilet bowl.
What do you do when you're stranded
and you can't reach the roll.

Wherever you go for the rest of your life
you will smell, Stranded!

Hilarious. I was just watching the guy who created the series on my DVD talking about the alternate lyrics.
