Song Lyrics: |
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 moon beams 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 chimpanzee agree that one day soon he will be a celebrity
Chorus
Git it, git it, git it, git it...OW! Gitarzan, he's a guitar man He's all you can stand Give him a hand, Gitarzan Ahhh (Jungle Yell), Ahhh, Ahhh
He's got a girl named Jane with no last name Kinda homely and plain but he loves her just the same Cuz she kindles a flame and it drives him insane When he hears her sing, she really does her thing It's her claim to fame, come on, sing one Jane
Baby, baby Ow, baby, baby (scat) Baby, baby
Well, they got a pet monkey He likes to get drunky And sing boogie woogie and it sounds real funky Come on, your time boy, sing one monkey
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Let's hear it for the monkey 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, ahhh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Baby, ahhh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Baby, shut up I'm trying to sing Baby, ahhh baby........... Chorus
Git it, git it, git it, git it...ow! Gitarzan and his jungle band They're all you can stand Give 'em a hand Gitarzan (peterpuck9) |

Ray Stevens makes a good living in Branson, MO off of all those remakes, so there are indeed a lot of them. But I'm going to remain intolerant of this crap. Often, original versions are considered dementia classics and there are a whole lot of fans besides me who know the original from the remakes within the first 10 seconds of hearing one. This is getting zapped as well. Just make another page and this can be avoided. Mp3 replacement is the work of moments and I've got all night to do these things. That's how chronic insomnia works.
Fixed.

I guess someone prefers the re-recordings hence why they're constantly replacing the originals.
