Lyrics
- Female Singers:
- On the island,
- Island of sirens,
- Our hot sex will leave you perspirin'.
- Lenny:
- Hey, that's kinda catchy.
- Carl:
- It's comin' from that island. Let's steer heedlessly towards it.
- Lenny:
- Heedlessly it is!
- Female Singers:
- The feta is cheesy,
- The sirens are easy...
- Homer:
- Boy, if they kiss as good as they lure...Wow!
- Female Singers:
- On the island,
- We'll sex you up!
- Island of sirens. (repeat)
- [As the boat approaches the island, the crew can finally see the Sirens. They look exactly like Patty and Selma, even down to the leg stubble.]
- Homer [screaming]:
- Oh, God, they're hideous!
- Apu:
- Woof!
- Lenny:
- Uff! Someone gouge my eyes!
- Professor Frink:
- Someone save me from the LAY-DEES!
- [The crew quickly man the oars, row frantically, turn the boat around, and go back the way they came, leaving the island behind.]
