[The cartoon begins with Slappy and Walter watching TV]
Has this ever happened to you?
Can we change the channel to something without Bob Saget in it?
Well, now there's a fabulous product that can smooth the edges off life's little annoyances.
Ah, give me the remote control, already.

No! [Slappy claps her hands twice and a hand gives him a slap] Oof! Here you go.
SSingers
[singing] Slap on, [Slappy claps twice] Slap off, Slap on, slap off. [Slappy claps twice] The Slapper.
Got a tramp steamer, my ship's called "Hal".

40 miles on the Panama Canal.
Got a cargo of sodas, they are low cal.

40 miles on the Panama Canal.
Sailing 'cross the Caribbean Sea
To the Pacific in a jiffy
Through Panama, but not on land.
I'd look silly with my ship in the sand.
Yo, Hal, try the canal,
Yo, Hal, the canal is your pal!
You can sail a cargo ship from sea to shining sea
Through the Panama Canal for a nominal fee.
You enter a lock, it's a ship corral.

40 miles on the Panama Canal.
You pay your money then get a decal.
SSingers
40 miles on the Panama Canal.
You cross the locks; they number 3,
Full of water for you and me.
100 feet wide, 41 feet deep,
Water enough to drench a sheep.
High lock, up goes the ship.
Low lock, the ship takes a dip.
First they raise the water level, then lower it again.
'Cross the Panama Canal, it's really zen.
We pass the locks with good morale.

Thank you, Hal! 40 miles on the Panama Canal.
You're welcome, men! Wasn't that fun?
40 miles, our voyage is done.
From Colón now past Balboa,
Adios, Panama! So long! Aloha!
