Tarzans' Blues

Ungawa, pasi, nip adoo
Me Tarzan, I'm the king that's who!
I swing it anyway I please
and hang out with the chimpanzees.

Then Jane come here from overseas,
ungawa, pasi, nip adoo
she great big pain in BVDs!
She make me do what she want to!

I was the master of all beasts,
the native chieftains threw me feasts
ungawa, pasi, nip adoo
now I get squat since she got through!

Beware of Jane! No good for you!
she take your pesas and igmoo
and give you the Swahili blues
ungawa, pasi, nip adoo!

Janes Lament

Ol' beastie boy and I are quits
as life with him is just the pits!
Don't never mind that crap he tells
this ain't no place for Southern belles!
A freakin' igmoo's where he dwells
the man don't bathe and PHEW, he smells!
His lovin' sure don't ring no bells,
I ask him for some measly shells
"Ungawa's" all he ever yells!
The very thought of him repells!
I'm movin' back into the Ritz
that loser y'all can kiss my grits!

Hey, Dr. Moose1: Excellent take on an old tale. And you got it right: "First two don't matter." Thank you, good Doctor. Much enjoyed.

Ancient Hippie,
Thanks for the R&R and welcome to Passions.
Doc

young_blood,
Ty. I guess it's true that humor appeals to all age groups, lol.
Doc

Mysteria,
Thank you m'friend, these things are so much fun to write as I never really know where they're going 'til the end.
