Ray Stevens

Gitarzan

He's free as the breeze, he's always at ease

He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees

As he swings through the trees without a trapeze

In his B.V.D.s

He's got a union card and he's practicing hard

To play, the guitar, gonna be a big star

Yeah, he's gonna go far

And carry moonbeams home in a jar

He ordered Chet's guitar course, C.O.D.

Makes A and E and he's working on B

Digs C and W and R and B and me and the chimpanzees agree

That one day soon he'll be a celebrity

Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it

Gitarzan, he's a gitar man

He's all you can stand

Give him a hand, Gitarzan

He's got a girl named Jane with no last name

Kinda homely and plain but he loves her just the same

'Cause she kindles the flame and it drives him insane

When he hears her say, she really does her thing

It's her claim to fame, come on, sing one Jane

Baby, baby, oh baby

Baby, oh baby

How about that, let's hear for Jane, yeah

Thank you folks

Well, they've got a pet monkey, he likes to get drunk

And sing boogie woogie and it sounds real funky

Come on, your time boy, sing one monkey, you go

Let's hear it for the monkey, oh

On Saturday night they need some excitement

Jane gets right and the monkey gets tight

And their voices unite in the pale moonlight

And it sounds all right

Yeah, it's dynamite, it's out of sight

Let's hear it right now

Baby, baby, oh baby, baby

Shut up baby, I'm trying to sing

Baby

Get it, get it, get it, get it

Gitarzan and his jungle band

And they're all you can stand

Give him a hand, Gitarzan

Oh baby

Gitarzan and his jungle band

They're all you can stand

Give him a hand, Gitarzan
