The Ballad of Emeishan

(The Ballad of Gilligan’s Island)

Sit right back and you’ll hear a tale

Of a painful, bumpy trip

That started out in Chongqing

When we left the Dragon ship

Ryan studied all the maps

He had Nan at his side

Richard picked up eggs and bread

For a three hour ride

A three hour ride…

The road was worse than the Big Dig

Mr. Wong could hardly drive

We prayed to the LeShan Buddha

That we’d get there alive

That we’d get there alive

We ended up in Emei Shan

At a luxury hotel

With Bill again,

And Gary too,

The Kathys, and Delene

The China Queens,

And the rest

Are here in Emei Shan!
