The Island of Bum Bum Ba Loo
by Daniel Errico
Have you sailed to the island of Bum Bum Ba Loo?
It’s something that all great explorers must do
Ten years ago, I set off with my crew
In search of the island of Bum Bum Ba Loo
The waves on the sea made me wish that I flew
To get to that island of Bum Bum Ba Loo
The path on my map led us slightly askew
And we sailed every ocean, before we were through
But when we arrived it was then that I knew
That all of the stories I heard must be true
The water surrounding it shone a bright hue
A magnificent color, like no other blue
A sign made with vines, held together by glue,
Stood on the shore, reading “We Welcome You!”
The king had arranged for a great big to-do
And the queen herself shouted the loudest "Woohoo!"
The Bum Bum Ba Lites gave us bowls of their stew
Which they made from the roots of the Great Bum Ba Doo
The food could have fed seven hundred and two
At the feast on the Island of Bum Bum Ba Loo
Our drinks were quite tasty, a tropical brew
If you ask what was in them, I haven’t a clue
They served us deserts made with Bum Berry goo
As we danced to the tune of the didgeridoo
We all thanked the King for the party he threw
Of course not forgetting to thank the Queen too
From their palace they showed us the wonderful view
And we saw all the fields where the Bum Berries grew
As gifts, I gave both of them gumballs to chew
When they asked me for more I had only few
So we hopped on the ship where we kept a whole slew
But it got carried off when the northern wind blew
The island has waited to be found anew
While I searched for someone to give the map to
And now I’ve decided to pass it to you
To discover the island of Bum Bum Ba Loo
