[Intro]
A Aoooma,  a Doooma,  a Aoooma,  a Eoooma
A Aoooma,  a Doooma,  a Aoooma,  a Eoooma
[Verse 1]
Deep in the Ajungle, he lost her Dfavor
Another Agambit, he would have Emade her
He gave her Aperfume, she used his Drazor
And deAcided to Echange his Aways
[Verse 2]
She was a Agambler, he didn't Dblame her
She had a Adimple in her Efavor
At the last Aminute, he always Dchased her
And deAcided to Echange his Aways
[Chorus]
Life would be Dso much more exAciting
If we could Elive it day by Aday
We could at Dleast adjust the Alighting
To ilB7luminate the Eway
[Verse 3]
He took the Aloving that she'd been Dcraving
She took adAvantage of the Esaving;
It almost Aruined her repuDtation
And decAided to cEhange his Aways
[Bridge]
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de Dlay hee hee
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de Elay hee
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de Dlay hee hee
Yo de Alay hee, Elay hee, Alay hee

[Chorus]
Life would be Dso much more exAciting
If we could Elive it day by Aday
We could at Dleast adjust the Alighting
To illB7uminate the Eway
[Verse 4]
She wasn't Acrazy 'bout his behDavior
She read it Asomewhere in the Epaper
He was seAducing a balleDrina
And decAided to Echange his Aways
[Bridge]
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de Dlay hee hee
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de Elay hee
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de Dlay hee hee
Yo de Alay hee hee, Yo de lEay hee
