NARRATOR: From Karachi to Botswana

They all tell the story, bwana

Of the desert Where the ground is burning hot

Of the wind that cracks the stones

Where the sun'll bleach your bones

And the legend there That's known as Gunga Dot

It was back in 22

We were west of Kathmandu

On the Afghan border Headed towards Bombay

We were traveling out of Kari

On an elephant safari

When I heard the cry:

MARITA: We're out of Perrier!

Oh, Flavio, is it true?

We're out of Crystal Geyser too.

And all that sparkling water Evian we brought.

It isn't right, it isn't nice.

We are also out of ice.

BOTH: Come and help us, please, oh, Gunga Dot.

ALL: Yo, Dot, Dot, Dot.

We're dying here, it's hot.

-Bring some water. -And some big electric fans.

Boy, the service here just stinks.

Hurry up there with our drinks.

Hey, relax, you jerks. I've only got two hands.

It's a hundred in the shade and I'm out of lemonade.

I'd like more ice cream, so just bring me all you got.

You know, I think it's getting hotter.

Why don't you bring us all more water?

CUSTOMERS: And do it on the double, Gunga Dot.

NARRATOR: Two mice about to lunge With a huge, gigantic sponge

At the river Where the violent waters swirled

All right, Pinky, now we've got her.

We'll capture all the water. Then you and I can take over the world.

NARRATOR: He pulled the lever on that sponge And they watched it take the plunge

As it filled with water Both of them just smirked

And they lifted it with care High up into the air

Congratulations, Brain. You see, it worked.

Hmm. What's that sound?

[BOTH YELL]

NARRATOR: Meanwhile, for Gunga Dot The crowd was getting hot

She ran this way She ran that way on the fly

This Kool-Aid isn't cool.

We need some water in the pool.

Hold your horses.

Okay, I love you, now bye-bye.

[WHIMPERS]

Rita, look, it's an oasis.

Just be quiet or they'll chase us.

I'm hot here, Rita. Definitely, definitely hot.

I'd like a cold, refreshing drink for myself and for Mink.

Well, you'll have to stand in line for Gunga Dot.

NARRATOR: They called for water everywhere

Yes, I'd like to wash my hair.

I want to shave.

We want a wave.

CUSTOMERS: So get us wet.

NARRATOR: And though she'd worked this job For months

With people talking all at once

Gunga Dot was just about to get upset

So you wanna be real wet?

That's exactly what you'll get.

I'll tell you what. Here comes a big surprise.

You want your pool? You want your shower?

I live inside a water tower.

So why don't you try this gusher on for size?

You know, Brain, it's funny, but I'm feeling thirsty.

[BOTH YELL]

BOTH: Cowabunga!

All right!

[MINDY GIGGLING]

NARRATOR: Yes, she pulled that little lever

Seemed like water came forever

And there's not a spot They say it didn't reach

And after all of that commotion

She had formed the Indian Ocean

Where everyone now lounges On the beach

So when beneath a desert sky

If your canteen's running dry

And you need someone Who's Johnny-on-the-spot

You can be her clientele

But you better tip me well.

CUSTOMERS: You're a better one than we are, Gunga Dot.

-I'm Yakko. -I'm Wakko.

And I'm cute.
