Tarzan

F  G7       Jungle vines touch an elephant rump.

C  F         Termites terminate an old tree trunk.

F  G7       Toucan wings dodging monky dung.

C  F         Salamander swifter than a sloth who runs.

Dm    A   Butterflies fly so gracefully.

Bb    C     Python snakes slither up a tree.

 

F  G7       Skipping along while a tapir runs.

C  F         Singing a song with fly who hums.

F  G7       Leaping across a rock with moss,

C  F         he grabs ahold of a vine to cross.

Dm    A   Falling leaves tease, don't make a sound.

Bb    C    He follows them back to the ground.

 

F  G7       Mushrooms peeking from the leafy floor.

C  F         Lemurs howling as a tiger roars.

F  G7       Fragrant flowers bringing lots of bees.

C  F         Singing birds roost in all the trees.

Dm    A   Army ants raid another nest.

Bb    C    Tarzan pounds upon his chest.

 

F  G7       Jane replies and to her surprise,

C  F         a babboon screams and starts to rise.

F  G7       He climbs the tree where Jane's waiting.

C  F         He pulls her hair.  Now Jane's screaming.

Dm    A   "Let me go, you stinky thing!"

Bb    C    "Wahahah!" the babboon sings.

 

F  G7      He drags her back to the babboon tribe.

C  F        "She with me!" he yells with pride.

F  G7      Tarzan's swinging in hot pursuit,

C  F         sniffing the trail of the hairy brute.

Dm    A   "Ahh ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhhh."

Bb    C    Jane smiles, "Now you've made him mad!"

 

F  G7       Tarzan faces his babboon foe,

C  F         baring teeth, it's quite a show.

F  G7       Now they're wrestling on the ground.

C  F         The jungle creatures explode in sound

Dm    A   "asdjjrejthrditha"

Bb    C    "dasoijraitghagoi"

 

F  G7       The dust settles and wouldn't you know,

C  F         Tarzan dealt the final blow.

F  G7       The babboon tribe runs away.

C  F         "Tarzan, love, you sure were brave!"

Dm    A    He picks Jane up then grabs a vine.

Bb    C     They swing away as their smiles shine.
