[Intro]
A D A E
A oooma, a oooma, a oooma, a oooma
A D A E
A oooma, a oooma, a oooma, a oooma
[Verse 1]
A D
Deep in the jungle, he lost her favor
A E
Another gambit, he would have made her
A D
He gave her perfume, she used his razor
A E A
And decided to change his ways
[Verse 2]
A D
She was a gambler, he didn't blame her
A E
She had a dimple in her favor
A D
At the last minute, he always chased her
A E A
And decided to change his ways
[Chorus]
A D A
Life would be so much more exciting
E A
If we could live it day by day
A D A
We could at least adjust the lighting
B7 E
To illuminate the way
[Verse 3]
A D
He took the loving that she'd been craving
A E
She took advantage of the saving;
A D
It almost ruined her reputation
A E A
And decided to change his ways
[Bridge]
A D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
A E
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee
A D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
A E A
Yo de lay hee, lay hee, lay hee
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
A D A
Life would be so much more exciting
E A
If we could live it day by day
A D A
We could at least adjust the lighting
B7 E
To illuminate the way
[Verse 4]
A D
She wasn't crazy 'bout his behavior
A E
She read it somewhere in the paper
A D
He was seducing a ballerina
A E A
And decided to change his ways
[Bridge]
A D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
A E
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee
A D
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee hee
A E
Yo de lay hee hee, Yo de lay hee
