Which is Harry-Ape talk for "Boo, I betcha I scared you, ha ha!" Waaa! Scared that poor cat so bad his eyes bugged out, his hair turned white! He ran off through the municipal park, screamin', hollerin', diggin' up the lawn, tearin' up the shrub & knock down the "Keep off the grass" sign, run through the hurricane fence, fell into the municipal park swimming pool & drowned hi'self! Woo hoo! Well, Harry thought this was the funniest thing that he had ever seen & he laughed "Ha ha," jumped back in the bushes & got ready to do it again The next guy to come along was the near-sighted local DJ Just boppin' down the sidewalk on his way to work with a box of records on his arm that he was gonna play So here he come, not suspectin' nothin' Harry jump out of the bushes all of a sudden Beat on his chest (sound effect of this action) Jump up & down & he say: Wooo-hoo-hee-hee-hoo-hoo... Which is Harry-Ape talk for "Smile, you're on candid camera!" Man, that DJ was so near-sighted he thought Harry was a rock 'n' roll singer! So he gave him the old glad hand, smiled, slapped him on the back, sayin', "Don't worry, baby, I'm gonna play the record 'cause you're too cool, too cool, too cool!" & he said bye, bopped on off down the sidewalk; every 4 or 5 steps he'd stop & turn around, doin' a little boogaloo-shing-a-ling! Well, this really shook Harry up, I mean it blew his whole bit, you know, ruined his whole day So he run back to his cage as fast as he can go, jump up on his little swing, put both hands over his eyes & didn't look for 3 hours & 45 minutes. But that's not the end of the story Here's what happened: The DJ played Harry's record (What record?) Shut up! It was a hit and he became a star Got him some tight britches, got him a manager Went on a promotion tour, combed his hair back & took up playin' the guitar & every Sunday afternoon you can go see Harry at the zoo & the girls will scream & he'll sit on his swing & pick & sing his hit record for you (backing vocals over ape noises): (Shoo-be-doo-wa-shoo-be-doo wa, shoo-be-doo wa-shoo-be-doo wa (Shoo-be-doo-wa-shoo-be-doo wa, shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wah) From: Collins Crapo Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Osama Yo Mama, Osama Yo Mama (Alternate Version), Osama Yo Mama, Santa Claus Is Watching You, Santa Clause Is Watching You, Sittin Up With The Dead, Sittin Up With the Dead, Streak, Surfin U.S.S.R., Surfin USSR, The Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone, The Preacher And The Bear, The Streak, Would Jesus Wear A Rolex, Your Bozos Back Again, 10 Seconds Down, Abra Kadabra, Abracadabra, Aim For Me, American Pig, Answer The Phone, Anyone, Breathe, Burning Dog, Caboose, Cash, Dance Party USA, Danzig Needs A Hug, Disaster Piece, Disasterpiece, Even Though, Every Morning, Falls Apart, Fly, Fly f Super Cat, Glory, High Anxiety, Hold Your Eyes, Invisible, Iron Mic, Its All Over, Just A Little, Live and Direct, Mean Machine, New Direction, Ode To The Lonely Hearted, One Brave Cowboy, Ours, Personal Space Invader, Reaching Out, Other Ray Stevens song Lyrics Ahab the Arab Lyrics Along Came Jones Lyrics Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone Lyrics Cannonball Run Lyrics Everything Is Beautiful Lyrics Gitarzan Lyrics Help Me Make It Through the Night Lyrics Hugo (The Human Cannonball) Lyrics Its Me Again, Margaret Lyrics Its Me Again Margaret Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Ray Sugar Lyrics Ray Thomas Lyrics Ray-J Lyrics Ray-J & Brandy Lyrics Ray-J F/ Lil Kim Lyrics Ray-J F/ Pharrell Williams Lyrics Raydio Lyrics Raye Collin Lyrics Collin Raye Lyrics R.b.
