I Am Tarzan

Here’s my auto-hagiography

I grew up in Africa in 63,

I hadn’t figured out who I was meant to be

Till I rode through the jungle and the natives hipped me that:

Oyinbo!

I Am Tarzan! I Am Tarzan!

I was so confused, could this be true
What if it was, what should I do?

I didn’t work out, didn’t go to the Gym

So I just decided they were right, I’m him!

Bullies better not kick sand in my face

Ain’t nobody callin’ me a panty waist

I’m struttin’ around in my leopard skin jock

I know what they’re saying when the animals talk,

DRUMS Womp Bomp a Loo Bomp a Loom Bam Boom!

I Am Tarzan, I Am Tarzan! SAY WHAT?

You say there’s something about my physique

“You can’t be Tarzan you’re a pencil necked geek”

Well tell it to the animals that I command

They know I’m the king of the jungle land.

I don’t need a castle or royalty

I was raised by gorillas on my family tree

Bubbles had Jackson, Cheetah’s got me

My best friend is a chimpanzee. 

I’m swingin’ on a vine, jungle style 

I’ll kiss a lion or a crocodile 

Think I’m joking, go ahead and laugh 

But I’ll stand on a ladder and kiss a giraffe. 

It stunk, It was funky, but I kissed a skunk

Put lipstick on it — kissed an elephant’s trunk

Didn’t stop with one zebra, I kissed the whole herd  

Before it went extinct, I kissed the Dodo Bird

DRUMS Womp Bomp a Loo Bomp a Loom Bam Boom!

I Am Tarzan! I Am Tarzan! SAY WHAT?

You say there’s something about my physique

“You can’t be Tarzan you’re apencil necked geek”

Well tell it to the animals thatI command

They know I’m the king of the jungle land.

I got a jungle treehouse Playboy Mansion 

There’s animals singing and animals dancin’ 

There’s animals partying and havin’ a good time

Waitingto get kissed they’re standing in line

The animals run when they hear my yell 

But I can run so fast I’ll kiss a Gazelle 

I’m struttin’ around in my leopard skin jock

I know what they’re saying when the animals talk,

The animals love me and they know my name

I’t’s Tarzan, baby, and I got game

I hear the call of the wild and I’ll never be tamed

If you don’t believe me, just ask Jane.

DRUMS Womp Bomp a Loo Bomp a Loom Bam Boom!

(break and yell)

I Am Tarzan! I Am Tarzan!
