The Lyrics

I think everyone remembers the Brady Bunch 3-part series on Hawaii (Eps 401-403) when Mike takes his family along while inspecting a job in Honalulu. There, Bobby finds a troublesome tiki that is tabu and strange things start to happen. Greg wipes out badly while surfing, Bobby is almost injured by a wall hanging that falls on his bed when a pillow is tossed, and Peter finds a tarantula on his chest! Also, Alice injures her back. In an effort to save themselves and the family, the boys attempt to return the tiki to its ancient burial grounds which are being guarded by an eccentric archeologist played by Vincent Price! It all works out in the end when the archeologist takes it from them with the Bradys promising to credit him for the find.

Tiki troubles
Tabu find
Due to Bobby
Boys in a bind

Tiki troubles
The vacation’s over
With a notion that they’ve gotta
Return it to save their lives

Fallen hanging almost spells doom (Bobby)
Greg wipes out badly while surfing
Spider encounter-close (Peter)
It’s unnerving

Tiki troubles (tiki troubles)
Tabu find (tabu find)
Due to Bobby (due to Bobby)
Boys in a bind (boys in a bind)

Tiki troubles (tiki troubles)
The vacation’s over
With a notion that they’ve gotta
Return it to save their lives

Tiki troubles (are disturbing)
Tabu find (for the wearer)
Due to Bobby (object finding)
Boys in a bind (causing terror)

Tiki troubles
In the caves, a snooper
Who relieves them of their troubles
Claim of fame- on this he thrives!!!

Bradys thought they were goners
Bad luck came with ancient ties…

Rob - Perfect song to tell the scenario. Didn't Don Ho himself make a brief appearance in the episode? ;D

I can't recall but have been watching the Brady Bunch on AnTV at night. I remembered the Hawaii ep and chose Don Ho naturally. Parody was easy to write :)

The first stanza of "Tiny Bubbles" is used as a marching cadence in Basic Training, did you know that, Rob? Least it was when I pulled a stint in the Eighties. So picture a marching company of kids in Basic singing -- Tiki Troubles ... Tabu find ... Due to Bobby ... Boys in a Bind
