[Intro]
G Em C D (x4)
[Verse 1]
G Em
Well I heard they castrated Castro
C G
I heard they cut off everything he had
G Em
What a dirty low down thing to do
C G
To mess him up like that
G Em
They dumped him in a jungle
C G
In the land of the sugar cane
G Em
Ever since the day they fiddled around
C G
I said he ain’t never been the same
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
I say Oooh-La
C G
I say Oooh-La
C G
I say Oooh-La
[Verse 2]
G Em
Well I heard they castrated Castro
C G
Because he was the people's friend
G Em
They told him once and they told him twice
C G
Said I ain’t gonna tell you again
G Em
They put a bit of pressure on him
C G
That's when he told them what they could do
G Em
So the word came down from a northern town
C G
"Set up a jungle rendezvous"
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
I say Oooh-La
C G
I say Oooh-La
C G
We say Oooh-La
G A
[Chorus]
D E
He had been living in a different world
A F#m
Then he was nutted by reality
D
He had been living in another tree
E
Then he flew down
D
To see what happened
A
[Verse 3]
E
I went out to see my sister
A
She was not in
E
So I went and bought a paper
A
Then I returned
E
She was well into the racing
A
On the TV
D
She has never been that fond of me
E
I went and turned her over
A
[Chorus]
D E
See I'd been living in a different world
A F#m
Then I was nutted by reality
D
I had been living in another tree
E
Then I flew down
D
To see what happens
A
[Verse 4]
E
I was listening to an echo
A
I was impressed
E
Even though I could not see it
A
It was the most
E A
I was jumping and a-gleeing at every one
D
I was speaking in a foreign tongue
E
My pleasure gave no pleasure
A
[Chorus]
D E
See I'd been living in a different world
A F#m
Then I was nutted by reality
D
I had been barking up another tree
E
Then I flew down
D
To see what happened
