So I was hanging out in a very deserted placeWhere there's white, white, white sandAnd blue, blue, blue, aqua blue watersThat meets the horizon in a fine lineOf the most shiny purple you ever seen in your lifeAnd then right there across that great horizonSaw sails, sails from a ship, from a shipThat stood a man that had sailed around the world a time or twoI guess you could say, he was a pirateWell, I once knew a pirate named bobB O B, Bob was a drunken old slobB O B, Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rockBut Bob, he made it to the topHe said, You swing from your tree and I'll swing from mineYou have your lemons and I'll have my limeFunny, we all act like monkeys, sometimesSo you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mineI'll swing from mineAnd he said, I'd rather make love than warAnd I'd rather have millions than to ever be poorBut I'd rather be happy than to have anymoreGuess, I'm a little tangled in a vineOh, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mineYou have your lemons and I'll have my limeFunny, we all act like monkeys sometimesSo you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mineMan, let me tell ya about one of the crazy thingsThat just happened here in the past weekWe got to go and do this photo shoot for a magazineI think they were called blender and they gave us $900And they said, Well, y'all go do anything you want to with itSo let me tell you what a couple of pirates would doIf they had $900, well, they'd go into a costume shopAnd they'd find themselves a couple of costumesMaybe, animals, maybe something that looked like a chickenA chicken? A chicken, John, I like chickenJohn, you were a chicken, I think, I love catsAnd then one of them would put some fruit on his headLook a little bit like Carmen MirandaIs that like the girl in the Chiquita banana thing?And then what they would doDude, the Chiquita banana girl is stackedI always thought she was hot, anytimeI was like, in elementary school and they gave us the bananasI would always pick the one that had the sticker still on itBut then again you liked to look at the pantySection of the sears and roebuck magazineWho didn't? 'Cause you're a freak, who didn't?Bona fide, bona fide freak, you knowWhat my grandmother used to tell meShe would do that involved the searsAnd roebuck magazine and freaks,Well, chickens that is when she was grew upShe was born in 1905, her name was CathleenWe called her gaggy, more affectionatelyShe was known to her grandchildrenAnd she told us that when she was a kidThey used the sears and roebuck magazine for toilet paperOh my, in the outhouse and they had a stickIn the out house to beat the chickensOh, but anyway, I guess, that's the way things used to beAnd things ain't quite like the way they used to be anymoreAnd anyway, we're standin' there dressed like a chickenAnd Carmen Miranda, and we're holding the horn of a white rhinosarusA white rhinosarus, white rhinosarus at the San Antonio ZooWhich we must tell you is a very, very nice zooAnd now that you know a little bit about what we've doneIn the past week, we can tell youLet's rock it baby, come onWe can tell you, we can sayYou swing from your treeWe can sayI'll swing from my tree oh, you swing from your treeWe'll all be happy sometimes and I'll swing from my treeYou swing from your tree and I'll swing from my treeAnd we'll all be happy sometimesCome on, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from my treeAnd we'll all be happy sometimesOh, you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mineYou have your lemons and I'll have my limeIt's funny, we all act like monkeys sometimesSo you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mineI'll swing from mine, I'll swing from mineI was just trying to think of the sound that a monkey would make
