and the (MI7) crazy politicians.

is (LA) swinging up and down in a coconut tree
oh what a life of luxury to (MI7) be like an ape (LA) man.

Notas: Puede que tengas un poco de dificultad para coger
el tono al cantar en el estribillo, pero siempre puede hacerse
una octava por debajo sin que quede demasiado mal.
