"Beat Out My Love" lyrics - THE CRAMPS

THE CRAMPS
"Beat Out My Love"

I'm like a ring tailed monkey, a-hangin' from a bamboo tree
I'm like a native in the jungle, as restless as I can be
And if I hear you stalkin' through the grass
I wanna get a message to you fast
I'm gonna pick up a log and a-beat out my love for you

I'm like an apeman Tarzan swingin' from a long great vine
And I'm a-lookin' for you, so that I can make you mine
I would climb on a tree, so good and high
Then let out with that Tarzan cry
Then I pick up a log and a-beat out my love for you

Well, now that I'm in the jungle, I'll do as the natives do
I'll do things their way and act like it's nothing new
And if I see you sittin' in a cool glade
I'm gonna make the loudest sound ever made
'Cause I'm gonna pick up a log and a-beat out my love for you

Well, I'm gonna pick up a log and a-beat out my love for you
Yeah, beat out my love for you
Oh, yeah-yeah-yeah, honey you know
I'm gonna beat out my love for you
