#1.
G7He'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,
Without a trapeze, in his B.V.D.s (Heh, Heh.)
#2.
G7He'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...
#3
He ordered G7Chet's guitar course C.O.D.
He makes A and E and he's working on B,
digs C&W and R&B and me and the Chimpanzee agree
that one day soon he'll be a celebriGty.
GGet it, get it, get it.
CHORUS:

G7He'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 sing, she really does her thing,
it's her claim to fame...Come on, sing one, Jane.

and sing boogie woogie and it sounds real funky.
Come on, your turn, boy! Sing one monkey!
G7(Monkey sounds.)
Let's hear it for the monkey!

G7On 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, yeah, it's dynamite, 
it's out of sight! Let's hear it right....now!

Gitarzan:Ray Stevens.

#8 in USA and #10 in Canada in 1969.

#1.

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,

Without a trapeze, in his B.V.D.s (Heh, Heh.)

#2.

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.

He makes A and E and he's working on B,

digs C&W and R&B and me and the Chimpanzee agree

that one day soon he'll be a celebrity.

Get it, get it, get it.

CHORUS:

G C

Gitarzan, he's a guitar man!

He's all you can stand,

Give him a hand, Gitarzan!

Cause she kindles the flame and it drives him insane,
