Well I heGard they castrated CEmastro
I heard they cCut off everything he hGad
What a dGirty low down tEmhing to do
To mCess him up like tGhat
They dGumped him in a jEmungle
In the lCand of the sugar cGane
Ever sGince the day they fEmiddled around
I said he aiCn’t never been the sGame

Well I hGeard they castrated CEmastro
BecaCuse he was the people's frGiend
They tGold him once and they tEmold him twice
Said I aCin’t gonna tell you aGgain
They pGut a bit of pEmressure on him
That's when he tCold them what they could Gdo

[Intro]

G Em C D

(x4)

[Verse 1]

G Em

Well I heard they castrated Castro

C G

I heard they cut off everything he had

G Em

What a dirty low down thing to do

C G

To mess him up like that

G Em

They dumped him in a jungle

C G

In the land of the sugar cane

G Em

Ever since the day they fiddled around

C G

I said he ain’t never been the same

[Pre-Chorus]

C G

I say Oooh-La

C G

I say Oooh-La

C G

I say Oooh-La

[Verse 2]

G Em

Well I heard they castrated Castro

C G

Because he was the people's friend

G Em

They told him once and they told him twice

C G

Said I ain’t gonna tell you again

G Em

They put a bit of pressure on him

C G

That's when he told them what they could do

G Em

So the word came down from a northern town

C G

"Set up a jungle rendezvous"

[Pre-Chorus]

C G

I say Oooh-La

C G

I say Oooh-La

C G

We say Oooh-La

G A

[Chorus]

D E

He had been living in a different world

A F#m

Then he was nutted by reality

He had been living in another tree

Then he flew down

To see what happened

[Verse 3]

I went out to see my sister

She was not in

So I went and bought a paper

Then I returned

She was well into the racing

On the TV

She has never been that fond of me

I went and turned her over

[Chorus]

D E

See I'd been living in a different world

A F#m

Then I was nutted by reality

I had been living in another tree

Then I flew down

To see what happens

[Verse 4]

I was listening to an echo

I was impressed

Even though I could not see it

It was the most

E A

I was jumping and a-gleeing at every one

I was speaking in a foreign tongue

My pleasure gave no pleasure

[Chorus]

D E

See I'd been living in a different world

A F#m

Then I was nutted by reality

I had been barking up another tree

Then I flew down

To see what happened

[Outro]
