Song Parody

Today, I am once again stretching the limits of this site's motto "Anything tropical is fair game". Two years back, before I really knew much of anything about the Pacific Islands, I wrote the following parody in anticipation for an upcoming cruise on the Carnival Freedom in 2012. Before I get to the parody, however, you must know the song and the original lyrics since it is a rather obscure tune for this day and age.

"Forever and Ever"
Demis Roussos

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one 
That shines in me like the morning sun. 
Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my spring, 
My rainbow's end and the song I sing. 

Take me far beyond imagination. 
You're my dream come true, my consolation. 

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be my dream, 
My symphony, my own lover's theme. 
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny 
Will follow you eternally. 

Take me far beyond imagination. 
You're my dream come true, my consolation. 

Ever and ever, forever and ever you'll be the one 
That shines in me like the morning sun. 
Ever and ever, forever and ever my destiny 
Will follow you eternally

ON BOARD THE FREEDOM PARODY LYRICS

On board the Freedom, On board the Freedom I'll be the one

Snapping kodak shots of the morning sun.

On board the Freedom, On board the Freedom the steel drums ring,

and four full plates from the buffet, I bring...

Take me far beyond imagination.

Sailing the vast ocean is my fascination!

On board the Freedom, On board the Freedom it is a dream,

The solution to my math proofs it seems.

On board the Freedom, On board the Freedom creating memories
that will follow me eternally. 

Take me far beyond imagination.
Sailing the vast ocean is my fascination!

On board the Freedom, On board the Freedom give me D.O.D's, wacky contests, and more food please.
On board the Freedom, On board the Freedom creating memories,
that will follow me eternally.
