Yakety Yak Lyrics - Face The Music: The Complete Monument Singles 1965-1970 - Ray Stevens

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 

With 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. 

Like A and E and he's working on be 

Big W&W and R&B and even the chimpanzees agree 

That someday soon he'll be a celebrity 

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 folks) 

They've got a pet monkey who likes 

To get drunk and sing boogie woogie 

And it sounds real funky 

Come on your turn boy 

Sing one monkey 

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
