Jungle noises fade in ... A6 / E6 pattern emerges... 
 
      A6              E6 
On de ubber side ob de island 
         A6               E 
There's a sky so clear and blue 
    A6                      E6 
Can see, cross water, to de mainland 
    A6              E 
New life for me and you 
 
A            E     
 Let's buy a hotel 
            A 
Let's get a yacht 
            D 
We'll get a golden island 
       E               A 
In the sun made of coconut 
                 E 
Let's buy an old car 
                 A 
We'll crash in a hut 
               D 
We'll feed the food to the Ford 
          E                A  
And we'll live off the coconut

Well there's a big black mama in a tree She's gonna cook us       
            F#m                     Bm7 
She's gonna call up the rest of the tribe 
       E                          E6  E7 
And it looks like the ghost of Tarzan lied 
F#m                  
He went over to the other side 
       C#m  
And he rang like a bell

From tree to tree 
A               E             
 They never ever let you go

 They never ever let you go 
A                E       
 We get American menus

 With all American men

We're getting sick of things American

We ate our way through half the Pentagon 
B7                  A         F#m11         
We had our share of big palookas
