Mister Livingston Lyrics By Larry Verne

    through the steaming jungle
    searching night and day
    a man named stanley wandered on
    but never lost his way
    and this we heard him say

    hey mister livingston
    hey mister livingston

    hey buddy come on over here and give me a hand
    huh you got a hairy little hand don’t ya
    hey buddy you seen a little whitehaired old man around here
    name’s livingston
    well what’s so durn funny
    yeah
    hooo c’mon turn your head a little bit
    i think you got a hold of a bad banana

    safari ho

    look at all them weird lookin’ flowers out there
    hey charlie stay away from that maneatin’ plant
    hmm up and swallered him whole
    hooo i bet that chafes
    hey charlie throw me out the canteen will ya
    yeah and the map too
    thank ya

    onward through the jungle
    marched this man named stan
    wracked with fever wracked with pain
    he traveled gun in hand
    he had to find his man

    hey mister livingston

    well what do i do now
    ahh here it is page of the jungle guide
    ahhoooahh

    hey there you with the bone in your nose
    come over here a minute
    you seen a little whitehaired old ma
    hey mister livingston i do presume

    what do ya mean you don’t want to go back
    hey are them fellas over there really cannibals

    shoop i’m gettin’ deeper and deeper
    shoop there’s old laughin’ boy again
