I heard Tarzan outside playing on the Jungle Blues
|
I know 'cos I saw him shimmer in a Kenyan pool
|
Coming on in the vines with his leopard-skin lioncloth cool
|
Bony Watusi fingers
|
Beating on the bark of a tree
|
Now Tarzan and me, well, obviously we're like that
|
Me and Tarzan, yeah we get on like a house on fire
|
|
Look at cool Louise she's the one with the knick-knack eyes
|
She's only 17 but she knows how to make boys fight
|
Yeah she'll slit you with her eyes an' she'll slash you
|
With her cut-back smile
|
Ah she's as cruel as a pig but we love her like a house on fire
|
Louise and me now obviously we're like that
|
Yes me and Louise we'll make it like a house on fire
|
|
I saw a raw white angel executing loop-de-loops in the sky
|
Drawing lazy spirals with his slipstream smoke as he silently
|
Passed us by
|
But his halo got too heavy so he hung it down around his waist
|
Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops takes a lot of
|
Skill and bad taste
|
Now the angel and me obviously we're like that
|
Me and the devil we get it on like a house on fire
