lyrics

Slide Monkey
I see you slippin' my way
I see you swinging through the trees
Tellin' me 'Hey let's go ape!'

Slide Monkey
Now you just keep away
Don't want a monkey on my back
Don't need to be led astray

Hear the call of the wild
Ring from your inner child
Reverberate all across the jungle
Where savage beasts and
Feral souls commingle
Me Tarzan, you Jane
Cheetah's a chimp
And we can swing
Yeah baby, we can swing

Slide Monkey
You think you're oh so dope
But you can't see the forest for the trees
And you got no hope

Slide Monkey
You better scatter fast
Swingin' hairless apes like you
Are a thing of the past

Hear the call of the wild
Ring from your inner child
Reverberate all across the jungle
Where savage beasts and
Feral souls commingle
Me Tarzan, you Jane
Cheetah's a chimp
And we can swing
Yeah baby, we can swing

Hear the call of the wild
Ring from your inner child
Reverberate all across the jungle
Among savage beasts
And all the other people
Can't see the forest for the trees
But in the jungle
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway
It doesn't matter anyway

Me Tarzan, you Jane
Cheetah's a chimp
And we can swing
Oh baby, we can swing
Yeah baby, we can swing
