Lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard Tarzan outside playing on the Jungle Blues I know 'cause I saw him shimmer in a Kenyan pool Coming on in the vines with his leopard-skin loincloth cool Bony Watusi fingers beating on the bark of a tree [Chorus 1] Now Tarzan and me, well, obviously we're like that Me and Tarzan, yeah we get on like a house on fire Like a house on fire [Verse 2] Look at cool Louise, she's the one with the knick-knack eyes She's only 17 and she knows how to make boys fight She'll slit you with her eyes and she'll slash you with her cut-back smile She's as cruel as a pig but we love her like a house on fire [Chorus 2] Louise and me now obviously we're like that Yes me and Louise, we'll make it like a house on fire Like a house on fire [Bridge] Like a house on fire, like a house on fire Like a house on fire, like a house on fire [Verse 3] I saw a raw white angel executing loop-de-loops in the sky Drawing lazy spirals with his slipstream smoke as he silently passed us by But his halo got too heavy so he hung it down around his waist Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops takes a lot of skill and bad taste [Chorus 3] But the angel and me obviously we're like that Me and the devil, we get it on like a house on fire Like a house on fire, like a house on fire Like a house on fire
