[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D][G][C][D]
[G]Why do

[Verse 1]
they slow the free[C]way down when [D]the river turns,
when it [G]comes through town, when the [Em]water hits the rocks, it rolls with a [Am]hot, raw tem[G]po?
Oh, I'm [D]drivin' slow
Well, maybe [G]I picked out
a bor[C]ing use
For the [D]air I'm forced in [G]the inner tube
Instead of [Em]squintin'
through this muddy screen
I should be [Am]sittin', splash[G]in',
floatin' [D]downstream
Here we go around [G]the dry thistle
Mon[C]key can climb, but [G]I whistle
He [D]can't sing and [G]I can't dance
And the [C]monkey don't have to wear
[D]no pant[G]s[C][D][G][C][D]
[G]
Young men cope, old [C]men bitch
Cause the [D]ones in the middle
get to [G]scratch that itch
Kid[Em]s just want some taboo fruit
Like [Am]chance to dance [G]in their [D]birthday suit
Now I [G]wonder if where [C]love's involved
Did [D]we improve as [G]we evolved
Per[Em]haps we'd fix a big mistake
By go[Am]ing w[G]ild, g[D]oing ape
Here we go around the [G]tri -vessel
Mon[C]key can climb but [G]I whistle
He [D]can't sing and [G]I can't dance
And [C]the monkey don't have
to [D]wear no pant[G]s
Here [D]we go around the [G]tri -vessel
Mon[C]key can climb but [G]I whistle
[D]He can't sing and [G]I can't dance
And [C]the monkey don't have to wear [D]no pant[G]s
[D][G][C][G][D][G][C][D]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][D]
[G][D][G][C]
[G]He can[D]'t sing and I c[G]an't dance
And [C]the monkey don't have
to wear [D]no pant[G]s
[D]Here we go around the [G]dry thistle
Mon[C]key can climb, but [G]I whistle
He [D]can't sing and [G]I can't dance
And [C]the monkey don't have to [D]wear no pants
