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 (Heh, Heh.)

C7
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'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 sing, she really does her thing,
 
it's her claim to fame...Come on, sing one, Jane.
 
(Jane...falsetto.)
C                     F                       C

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!
