Road to ... refers to a series of seven comedy films starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. They are also often referred to as the "Road" pictures or the "Road" series. The movies were a combination of adventure, comedy, romance, and music. The minimal plot often took a back seat to gags, many of them supposedly ad-libbed by Crosby and Hope during filming.
Rumor[who?] has it that, during the filming of "...Singapore", Dotty Lamour said to the camera, "Hey fellas, I haven't had a line for ages!" From that time on, the scene was set for what was one of the most enduring franchises in the history of motion pictures.
Beginning with the Road to Singapore the films also included in-joke references to other Hollywood actors and jabs at Paramount Pictures, the studio that released all the films except for The Road to Hong Kong. There are also frequent instances in which Bob Hope breaks the fourth wall to address the audience directly, such as in the Road to Bali, in which he says, "[Crosby]'s gonna sing, folks. Now's the time to go out and get the popcorn."

O light shine down on me You know what I need Shine down on me Shine down on the garden Shine down on the garden
Sweet earth alive under me You know what I need Cradle me like a seed As I lay in the garden As I lay in the garden
O wise and beautiful tree Standing high over me Oh the things you have seen Tell me your story in the garden Tell it to me in the garden
And tell me How long have we slept How long have we wept There's work to be done
Sky above So vast and so deep You know what I need Rain down on me Rain down on the garden Rain down on the garden
O light surrounding me Sweet mystery In everything I see Come and find me in the garden Come and find me in the garden
