Melissa's Island
- by Cherry Cotton
(sung to Gilligan's Island theme)

Oh, sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a haunted apiary,
It began around 2552,
On a ship you thought was a ferry.
  On a ship you thought was a ferry.
The captain was a woman by the name of Greene,
The AI slightly nuts,
Five crewmen set sail that day,
No ifs, ands, or buts.
  No ifs, ands, or buts.
The lunar winds were getting rough,
Malfunctions, they assumed.
If it weren't for a cylindrical briefcase thingy,
The Apocalypso would be doomed.
  The Apocalypso would be doomed.
The ship took ground on some poor girl's site,
with Melissa, her Princess too,
the Spider, Flea, Manticore, some E-mails and a countdown,
Here on Melissa's Isle!
  Here on Melissa's Isle!

(insert wacky island hijinks)

So this is the tale of a bunch of geeks,
We've been here for a long long time,
Answering payphones by the ton,
A pain in my behind.
  A pain in my behind.
The Operator will do her best,
you know it is the truth,
to recite bizarre memories,
into your phone booth.
  into your phone booth.
Jars of honey and a trailer,
began this A.R.G.,
as well as Robinson Crusoe,
but with the foot of a flea.
  but with the foot of a flea.
So join us here each week my friend,
It's nothing at which to sneeze,
From payphone hunts to Notepad schemes,
Here on I Love Bees!
  Here on I Love Bees!
