The Transplant Calypso
By Jeremy Taylor
Transcribed by Kevin Hanssen
G D
The other day I was feeling ill
A D
I went to the doctor to get some pills
G D
He looked at me in despair
A D
Said my friend you’re badly in need of repair
G D
Now with his up to date surgery
A D
We get our spare parts from the menagerie
G D
So if you’ll kindly sit down a while
A D
I’ll just telephone for a crocodile
CHORUS
G
Soon I had the heart of an ape
D
The liver of a chicken
A D
The blood of an ox through a tube which they’re stickin’
G D
To my spleen which I borrowed from a cow
A D
I was human once but I’m not sure now.
G D
Going out one night
A D
Me and a fella got into a fight
G
I hit him with the left
D
I hit with the right
A D
But somehow I just couldn’t finish the fight
G D
No matter what I did he kept coming at me
A D
The stubbornest man I ever did see
G D
It was in vain I find out at last
A D
This fella’s got the jaw bone of an ass
G
I’ve got the heart of an ape etc
G D
Walking down the street
A D
me girlfriend I happened to meet
G D
Me heart went bong-diddy-bong
A D
Just like the ape that I got it from
G
Me ox blood boiled
D
I started to moo
A D
I was pawing at the ground, what else could I do
G D
When at last she walked on by
A D
I said cockle-doodle-doo and started to fly
G
I’ve got the heart of an ape etc
(The last verse is looser and spoken-like; think country and western with a Carribean lilt)
G D
In the end I was getting fed up
A D
Said to the doctor, “Look man, I’ve had enough,
G D
All this animal junk won’t do
A D
Give me some organ that doesn’t come out of the zoo.”
G D
He said “Well, how about this for size.”
A D
I tell you, I could hardly believe me eyes
G D
I looked at this thing with dismay and suspicion,
A D
I t was the brain of a politician.
G
I’d rather have the heart of an ape etc
