Song Poems and the Many Mysteries of Nervous Norvis

APE CALL

Back in history before time began
All the real cool cats had a solid plan
When they dug a nervous chick they all to a man went
Ah-ee-ah-a-a
Ape call doodliaba
Ape call doodliaba
Ape call doodliaba
You wanna be cool man, go ape

Young Mighty Joe was swingin through the trees
Was the king of everything that roosted in the leaves
But when he saw a girl ape swayin in the breeze he went
Ah-ee-ah-a-a
Ape call ----
Ape call-----
Ape call-----
You like to be hip boy, go ape

Big dinosaur was a long tall lizard
He'd drift through the jungle like a slow blizzard
But when he got a double take at a lady lizard he went
Ah-ee-ah-a-a
Ape call----
Ape call----
Ape call----
If you wanna be sharp go ape

A pteradactyl was a flyin fool just a
(I thought I'd break in to tell you what a pteradactyl was. Well it was sort of a stork lookin bat with real sharp teeth that cruised around lookin for - Say! We haven't changed a bit have we, cats?)
Pteradactyl was a flyin fool
Just a breeze flappin daddy of the old school
But a mama dactyl could make him drool - He went
Ah-ee-ah-a-a
Ape call
Ape call
Ape call
Don't wanna be a square go ape

Now old pal tiger was the boss of the Nile
Just a sport model cat with a solid style
He was old king cool til a girl tiger smiled
Ah-ee-ah-a-a
Ya wanna be zorch, go ape

Adam was the first boy in the land
A big mellow-roonie daddy with an iron hand
But when little Evie said Hi man he went
Ah-ee-ah-a-a
Ape call doodliaba
Ape call doodliaba
Ape call doodliaba
Ya don't wanna be a cube rube go ape

So remember to ape call today - Yeah
Ah-ee-ah-a-a

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?

The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

So just try and relax, yeah cool it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something little britches
If you act like that bee acts, uh uh
You're working too hard

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you!

(Sing it, Baloo!)

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

The most famous song poem of them all is called BLIND MAN'S PENIS. The author of it was in a terrible mood one day when he looked at a song poem ad in a magazine. In a fit of meanness he wrote the most horrible example of a song he could think up and mailed it, thinking they would either toss it or give a horrified response. But, for the fee, they set it to music and recorded it. It eventually got published and became a hit.
