Andy and Steve's Excellent Adventure

.
Now Steve and Ted and Ernie, arrived from way back east,
From the land where Western money, fuels Brian's money feast.
They came out to the West Coast, to get some mountain air,
To ski the Whistler Mountain, where the winter weather's fair.

.
They hooked up with the relatives, almost all Vancouver Cops,
Apres ski all primed for action, in a place that never stops.
So they picked "The Savage Beagle", a club in Whistler town,
Ordered many, many shooters, which they started tossing down.

.
Neither one remembers, the number that they drank,
But the bill on plastic money, showed one fifty for the bank.
The end result for Andy, he began to puke his guts,
Right inside the little club, drove the managers quite nuts.

.
He barfed out in the parking lot, and honked beside the street,
Then almost made a mess on, some Whistler Mountie's feet
So Steve grabbed ahold of Andy, and poured him in the truck,
Then headed for the condo, they might make it with some luck.

.
Six foot three inch Andy, his red hair fairly glowed,
As he leaned out of the window, puking on the passing road.
Back at the place of residence, Doug went to check the chrome,
While Steve would yell repeatedly, "Hi there kids, we're home".

.
They hoped to get assistance, putting Andy into bed,
While Andy dry heaved constantly, wishing he were dead.
He finally passed out on the couch, his upset tummy gone,
Until the sunny morning, when his hangover came on.
In the sky towards the East, climbs the bright warm Summer sun,
The boys returned so peacefully, their adventures not yet done.
The hardest part for Andy, and this is going some,
Is to try to keep this story, out of earshot of his Mom.

.
Now the word leaks out from Ottawa, of Andy's starring role,
That he's planning for a sequel, from his Tower of Control.
For release sometime this summer, it will have you on your knees,
The title of this blockbuster? A Weekend At Ernies.
