The Lyrics
wary indiana
periled indiana
harried indiana
seeks adventure on a whim
wary indiana
periled indiana
harried indiana
he weaves tales that..make...you...spin
engaged, he is, in dangerous expeditions
he's searching for the relics of grand tradition
he'll be facing death, at times, when off on a mission
in a wretched place
you will see his face
wary indiana
periled indiana
he's the top banana...takes a chance...when ere he roams
he's wary indiana
periled indiana
harried indiana
professor jones
periled indiana
harried indiana
seeks adventure on a whim
wary indiana
periled indiana
harried indiana
he weaves tales that..make...you...spin
engaged, he is, in dangerous expeditions
he's searching for the relics of grand tradition
he'll be facing death, at times, when off on a mission
in a wretched place
you will see his face
wary indiana
periled indiana
he's the top banana...takes a chance...when ere he roams
he's wary indiana
periled indiana
harried indiana

Sir Alvin, ~MightyDuke o'Roads~ I did see the latest ~IJ~ flick last month; HarrisonFord is still hot, dude !
Very nice. Course Indiana pales in comparison to Allan Quatermain. :-)
thanks WaryCupCakes....yeah, saw it too, dug it....thanks tim....they both rock
Alvin - "Indiana Wants Me" - how about a sequel? Short and sweet and just a tiny gem of a parody. Well done.
Trivia time - Did you know that the term "Top Banana" originated in the mid to late 1800s when burlesque shows first began? And no burlesque did not start out as a strip tease bump and grind. That only happened in its later days in its deline. It was more like Vaudeville. Anyway top banana was coined from slapstick when the comedy performers would slip on a banana peel. "Top Banana" was the star of the show where as under studies at the bottom of the food chain were resigned to be on the receiving end of pies in the face and seltzer in the pants.
High fives!
