This is a tribute to, or travesty of, DustTraveller's excellent story, Quantum Castaways. I probably don't need to say to what tune it's supposed to be sung.

"Hey Marsh, what's the plan for today?"
"Same thing we do every day, Sparks..."

[together]
"Try to get off of this island!"

The Monkey and the Mule, the Monkey and the Mule
One wields magic, the other's got tools
They're taken from their homes
By aliens or gnomes
The Monkey, the Monkey and the Mule, Mule, Mule, Mule, 
Mule, Mule, Mule, Mule,
Mule!

Contriving to survive
On every day they strive
To connive or to derive
A way back home alive

The Donkey and the Ape, the Donkey and the Ape
Their plans to escape
Will leave your jaws agape
But still, despite their guile
They're trapped upon their isle
The Donkey, the Donkey and the Ape, Ape, Ape, Ape, 
Ape, Ape, Ape, Ape,
*varf*
