The Lyrics

he's comin home, down from the vine
and he's writhing painfully, all of the time
if you feed him bananas he will hang there quietly
then you'll have the chance to see
him scientifically
sci-entif-ically

oh tie a mellow gibbon from a jungle tree,
feed him three large beers,
and then watch him pee
if I don't see a mellow gibbon from a jungle tree,
I'll think that you failed, stay on the trail,
and think out loud you see
if I don't see a mellow gibbon off the jungle tree

trail guider, please look for me,
cause I don't want to step on snakes oh please
I really want a gibbon, hanging from that jungle tree,
a simple mellow gibbon, to see scientifically
sci-entif-ically


now the whole safari's cheerin,
cause I can't believe I see,
a hungry mellow gibbon hangin from the jungle tree

oh tie a mellow gibbon from a jungle tree,
feed him three large beers,
and then watch him pee
if I don't see a mellow gibbon from a jungle tree,
I'll think that you failed, stay on the trail,
and think out loud you see
if I don't see a mellow gibbon off the jungle tree
