[Intro]
(Whoa, whoa)

[Chorus]
Gator tails and monkey ribs (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Gorilla biscuits and potato chips (Whoa-yeah)
Elephant grape juice and turtle pie
Banana split with a ham on rye

[Verse 1]
I met a girl down in Mississippi
Lives next door to my Uncle Flippy
Brought her on down to Smokey's Cafe
The waiter asked her what she wanted
And this is what she said (Whoa)
"I want"

[Chorus]
Gator tails and monkey ribs (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Gorilla biscuits and potato chips (Whoa-yeah)
Elephant grape juice and turtle pie
Banana split with a ham on rye (Whoa)

[Verse 2]
The waiter was shocked, he stood in his tracks
He jumped to the kitchen, and he split right back
He had the chef by the hand
Said, "Dig this chick; I think she's insane", (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Instrumental Break]

(Whoa, whoa)

[Verse 3]
I jumped to my feet, and I gripped his jaw
The dude got nervous, and they called the law
The next thing I knew I was sittin' in jail
Tryin' to figure out how to pay my bail, yeah-yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
Gator tails and monkey ribs (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Gorilla biscuits and potato chips (Whoa-yeah)
Elephant grape juice and turtle pie
Banana split with a ham on rye (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
Gator tails and monkey ribs (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Gorilla biscuits and potato chips (Whoa-yeah)
Elephant grape juice and turtle pie
Banana split with a ham on rye (Whoa)

[Outro]
(Whoa, whoa)
