Hiho then, here we are, safely ensconced, belly up to the bar. Well, we are, that is, if you were listening to and reading the notes concerning "The Palanquin," a song whose sole raison dʻetre is to set up "Pagan Lust." So, if you havenʻt yet auditioned/researched "The Palanquin," go do the right thing -- buy the file/back up the CD one program number, attentively listen, and rejoin us hep people here at a later, more enlightened time.
Phew. Now that weʻve gotten rid of THOSE people, we can proceed here. Ahem. Pagan Lust is the name of the theoretical progenitor-drink of all tiki-bar concoctions. Its recipe hints at a wild array of Masonically-kept secret ingredients. Its only design is to knock the imbiber silly into gleeful happiness, which, of course, is extremely dangerous to those poops who wish to control your behavior. I can reassure you, however, that when youʻre with Don Tiki, you are with friends. Facebook friends, to be exact. Now go tell your other pals to get hepped and support exotica nouvelle (just made that up) music by buying many many Don Tiki CDs! They make the perfect gift! Buy now!! Now!!! Recall, if you will, that for us merchvolk, the Holiday Season is always Just Around The Corner. Now, give! [Ed.: this pitch may need to be toned down somewhat.]

But whatever you do, donʻt drink
Whatever you do, donʻt drink
Whatever you do, donʻt drink

To put you in the pink Ooh, doot doot
Itʻs not what you think Ooh, doot doot
In God youʻll trust Get serious
So, whatever you do, donʻt drink Donʻt drink
Whatever you do, donʻt drink Donʻt drink

Oh, listen o me, people, Canʻt stop
Youʻll be swimminʻ in sin Canʻt stop, bop bop
You can smell the guava
But thereʻs red-hot lava
in a cobra skin You can only begin
Youʻll feel the fangs of a dragon Stay on the wagon
Through a palace guardʻs boot Donʻt try and get cute
Youʻll do the full-quart squirm, ʻAʻa
You tequila worm, Lava
Through the passion fruit A-rooty toot toot
Overloading your sense
Itʻs simply too intense
An experience
Not worth the fuss Calamitous
So, whatever you do, donʻt drink Donʻt drink
Whatever you do, donʻt drink Donʻt drink
Whatever you do, donʻt drink No, you mustnʻt drink
that Pagan Lust Go on, tell the people about it
Itʻs a drink so kinky
They serve it in a hookah
With a kick so kicky
Man, itʻs like a bazooka Chug-a-lugga
Youʻll be losinʻ your composure Oh, oh, whereʻd it go? My soul --
Youʻll be courtinʻ disaster Flyinʻ away
Fast as you can swallow Glub glub
Pagan Lust is gonna Glub glub
Swallow you faster Glub, give it up!
Ooh, itʻs a little bit oʻ heaven Seven-come-eleven
A whole lotta hell Bottom of the well
People get hip
Youʻre wrappinʻ your lips
ʻRound an artillery shell Take us to the river
You go nuclear fishinʻ Photon, proton
For atomic decay Positron, gamma ray
Thereʻll be no remission Karma
For your condition Pharma, hey hey hey!
Tell me whatʻd I say --
One final touch Five, four,
Countdown reaches completion Three, two,
An elixir so secret Lickety lick, lickety lick
It could be a secretion Ewww!!!
Youʻre gonna lose your decorum (bratty sounds)
Youʻre gonna find dementia insane laffs)
Youʻll be moaninʻ in the zone
Class, pay attention!
Pagan Lust is a sauce too strong
To chug-a-lug alone
Youʻll never get home
Youʻre gonna miss your bus And donʻt blame us
So, whatever you do, donʻt drink Alone
Whatever you do, donʻt drink Alone
Whatever you do, pass around Just pass around

For that Pagan Lust
