    Lyrics
    (Current lyrics; some differences with recording)

    Capt Neal:
    THE OTHER DAY THE U.S.A., WITH POLITICIANS TORRID,
    WAS BATTLING TO RECOUNT (OR NOT) THE PRESIDENTIAL TIE.
    THOSE GOINGS ON IN FLORIDA -- THAT'S NOT A STORY HORRID;
    IT'S SIMPLY THAT THAT STATE INDULGED TOO MUCH IN CATFISH PIE.
    YOUR VERY OWN GOOD CAPTAIN NEAL, I LAID THE LUBBERS LOW!

    WITH TEN TURDS A DAY A-TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    TEN TURDS A DAY A-TUMBLING, INTO CATFISH ROW.

    "Gilligan":
    WHAT MATTERS IT IF PARADOXES, TRAPS AND NEWSGROUP FIDDLES
    OCCASION'LY BETRAY OR BLOCK NEAL'S LOGIC SO INCISIVE?
    HIS SEARCHES FOR PERFECTION NEED NOT HIDE IN LIES NOR RIDDLES --
    HE LEADS THIS SORRY NEWSGROUP BY A MARGIN QUITE DECISIVE.
    AND HERE AGAIN, THE CAPTAIN'S HAND IS HELPING THOSE BELOW,

    AS A HUNDRED TURDS GO TUMBLING
    TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    A HUNDRED TURDS GO TUMBLING, INTO CATFISH ROW.

    Tadpole:
    GOOD CAPTAIN NEAL, YOUR CLEVER PLAN, IN MANNER FUNDAMENTAL
    CAN HELP TO SAVE OUR PLANET -- THE CATFISH AND THE REST!
    PERHAPS WE ALL CAN JOIN THE STRAIN, WITH TRUMPETS ELEMENTAL:
    LET'S RECOGNISE, AND LET'S SALUTE, A GREAT E. COLI JEST;
    AND ALL AROUND THE COASTLINE, LET THOSE SPHINCTERS SOUND AND BLOW,

    WITH A THOUSAND TURDS A-TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    A THOUSAND TURDS A-TUMBLING, INTO CATFISH ROW.

    Capt. Neal:
    NOW ALL YOU NEWSGROUP LURKERS, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO CONTRIBUTE,
    AND LET YOUR LABOURS LEAVE YOU WITH THAT SATISFYING GLOW.
    AVOID THAT PORTA-POTTI AND THE MACERATOR'S CHUTE:
    A PROPER BUCKET (CEDAR) IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
    JUST PUT YOUR BACKSIDES INTO IT, AND MAKE THAT VOLUME GROW!

    SEND TEN THOUSAND TURDS A-TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    TUMBLING,
    TEN THOUSAND TURDS A-TUMBLING, INTO CATFISH ROW.
