Story[]

Zack and Cody's parents join them on the S.S. Tipton. Carey gifts the boys socks and bonds while Kurt gives them a car which he uses to teach them how to drive. Cody is a careful driver while Zack crashes the car into the juice bar. After his entertainment cancels on him, Moseby asks Carey and Kurt to perform tonight and in exchange, he'll rip up the bill for the multiple damages that Zack caused to the ship. Moseby offers them permanent positions on board if their show does well, meaning that they will have to live on the boat. Zack and Cody discover this, and decide they would rather keep their parents a distance from their lives. This leads Zack and Cody to pull a stunt and sabotage their parents' opening night, hoping that if their show tanks they won't be asked back. The next day, Zack and Cody are surprised to see that their parents are getting ready for another show. Carey and Kurt lie about how they're going to stay on the boat, which worries the twins. When their parents then talk about their show being sabotaged, Zack and Cody realise that they've been found out. Their parents end up not staying on board but tells the twins that next time, they should be mature enough to speak to them if they have any problems.

Meanwhile, it's Mr. Moseby's birthday, and everyone's forgotten, so London seeks to find him the perfect gift. London gives him a diamond buffer, even though he doesn't have any diamonds so Moseby lets London have it instead. Moseby explains that a present should be something he likes, not what she likes. London then decides that she's going to find out his interests by asking him lots of questions and observing him. London gives Moseby a pocket hankie display case, albums from his favourite singers and ‘Go away London’ coupons. Moseby is grateful as the gifts are very thoughtful and thanks her.

Paper or plastic lyrics

Kurt: Roaming the aisles

Looking for smiles all day long

Little kids shove me

Hear how I squeal with my wobbly wheels

How could anyone love me

Carrie: I'm a soup of tomato

Not a potato

I'm a delicate type

I'm red and I'm plump

With a dent in my rump

How long could I ever stay ripe

Kurt: Now that I found you

My love will surround you

Carrie: I know I never grow

Kurt: It's very fantastic

Both: Paper or plastic

Together we found a new home
