Lyrics
Running thru the jungle again
with a big bird on my shoulder
his name is Tucan Sam
He asked me what I wanted to see
I said, "Tarzan man swinging with a chocolate chimpanzee".
He brought me to his koolaid pond
I paid him with a corn chip and drank until my hair turned blond, he wrapped me in a taco shell
I pointed with a mushroom stem, and blew his pond to hell.
Crazy again...every time I take these things, i lose you as a friend.
Crazy sitting in this tree.
With a pickle and a yo-yo and a chocolate chimpanzee.
I must have slept for 2 or 3 days.
when I woke a purple frog had duck-taped both my legs.
The phone rang and I started to scream...
Sasquatch from Bionic Man, turned me into ice cream.
My Scottie came in with a spoon, then melted cheese from Provalone and put me in a red balloon. He handed me a slice of my life. I chopped it up and gave it back, and made that chimpanzee my wife.
