(TUNE: “Shop Around”, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles)

(spoken)
When on a trip, we heard of this remote volcanic lake …
A perfect place for scientists, their evil plans to make!

(singing)
On a trip to the Philippine Islands,
Seeking mad scientists who like violence!
Hiding their evil lair in volcano …
People say no one’s there, what do they know?
Told Thelma and Chris,
“We’d better look around,
Oh yes, we’d better … look around!”

Took a mad-science boat to get there, ah!
To the rim of the brimstone caldera!
Then our guide warned of hydrogen sufide,
“Don’t come crying to me after you’ve died!”
With Thelma and Chris,
We took a look around!
Oh yes, we took a … look around!

     Boiling mud upon the barren beach,
     Central island is far out of reach …
     It’s so remote, and so isolated,
     Villains build a base that can’t be in-fil-tra-ted!

Told the humans, “Someday we’ll return here
Well-equipped, so we don’t drown or burn here!”
Heading back to the boat, what did we find?
Just an empty container of box wine!
With Thelma and Chris,
Someday we’ll look around …
(heh heh heh)
Someday …
(heh heh heh)
We’re gonna look around …
(heh heh heh)
Someday …
(heh heh heh)
