Tarzan Song

Lyrics:

This is a repeat after me song.
TARZAN!
Was swinging on a rubber band
Smashed into a frying pan
Now Tarzan's got a tan

JANE!
Was flying in an aeroplane
Smashed into a freeway lane
Now Jane's got a pain
Now Tarzan's got a tan

CHEETA!
Was walkin' down the streeta
Groovin' to the beata
Now Cheeta is veleeta

SHAMU!
Was swimmin' in the ocean blue
Smashed into a big canoe
Now Shamu's gonna sue
Now Cheeta is velveeta
Now Jane's got a pain
Now Tarzan's got a tan

SQUIRREL!
Was ridin' on the tilt a whirl
Crashed into a little girl
Now Squirrel's gonna hurl
Now Shamu's gonna sue
Now Cheeta is velveeta
Now Jane's got a pain
Now Tarzan's got a tan

MONKEY!
Was swingin' from tree to tree
Got stung by a bumblebee
Now Monkey is so funky

ROGER!
Was pitchin' for the Dodgers
Hit someone larger
Now Roger's not a Dodger

KING TUT!
Doin' the Egyptian strut
Fell into a rut
Now Tut's on his butt

CHARLIE!
Was ridin' on his Harley
Crashed into Bob Marley
Now Charlie's not so gnarly

RHONDA!
Was drivin' in her Honda
Drove into a pond-a
Now Rhonda has no Honda

There is also I like to eat eat apples and bananas I like to eat eat apples and bananas That's why they call me TARZAN OF THE APES! every time you get more quiet until the song is a soft hum but you always shout TARZAN OF THE APES

@Peter - I think you've mixed a couples songs together. See Apples and Bananas song and Tarzan of the Apes song.

Uhhh "Scouter Paul", you are incorrect. This song is correct the way this person has written it. I know this for a fact that I am, in fact, a girl scout myself. And wending this song all of the time for the smaller girls.

I remember this song from Science Camp back in 6th grade at Camp Highland in 2005. I envisioned the Tarzan, Jane, and Cheetah (Sabor) verses with the Disney characters.

I learned this in preschool in the 2000s and it pops into my head once in a while. Glad to have finally found it! Such an odd song lol.
