[Verse 1]
DBig and I'm bad
And I Awant you to know
DI hang around
Where the Agrass is greener
DTotally naked, baby
ATotally nude
D'Cause if I want to
AWho's gonna stop me?
[Chorus 1]
DI'm Aabsolutely Dfree
ALiving in the Dtrees
The Abirds and the Dbees
'Cause AI'm a nature boy
[Verse 2]
DLocked up Ainside
DYou can't tell me Awhere it's at
DOpen up, open up, Aopen the door
DRocks and trees and Aphysical culture
[Verse 3]
DSome days you Ahide
DI guess you wonder Awhere you are
DNature boy, nature man, Atake me along
DWe got a life that's Aundiscovered
[Chorus 2]
DWe Athrew it all Daway
AThrow it all awDay
ARolling in every waDy
It's Airresponsible
[Verse 4]
DSo civilAized
DGuess you wonder Awhere you are
DNature boy, nature man, Atake me along
DDeep in the woods we're Aundiscovered
[Verse 5]
DI'm a little fish and Ayou're the river
DLiving in a boat that's Aunderwater
We can Dtip, tip, tip it over
You can Apush, push, make it better now
[Bridge 1]
DWake your daddy up
DIt's a quarter to five
DOur little boat
Has Alost its rudder
DDive to the bottom
DAnd we never come up
DA polka party
For ABob and Martha
[Chorus 3]
DI'm Aabsolutely Dfree
ALiving in the Dtrees
The Abird and the Dbees
'Cause AI'm a nature boy
[Verse 6]
DThink what you Alike
DThis is really Awhere it's at
DOpen up, open up, Aopen the door
DWe don't need clothes and we Adon't need money
[Verse 7]
DSo civiAlized
DI guess you wonder Awhere you are
DNature boy, nature man, Atake me along
DDeep in the woods we're Aundiscovered
